Martin Quinn (1938 to 12 December 2021) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played at club level with Kilbride and at inter-county level with the Meath senior football team, usually at full-back. He was full-back on the Kilbride team that rose from junior to senior status in five seasons, winning the Meath Junior and Intermediate titles in 1960 and 1962 and then his first Meath Senior Championship in 1964, with a second in 1967 and a three-in-a-row from 1969 to 1971. After two years with the Meath minors he made his senior debut in a tournament game against Kerry in 1958 and was a key figure on the side that won the 1964 Leinster Championship. A suspension kept him out of the 1966 Leinster success, but he came on as a late substitute in that year's All-Ireland final against Galway. He was on the panel, with his brothers Jack and Gerry, when Meath beat Cork in the 1967 All-Ireland final. He died on 12 December 2021.
