Peter Quinn (1925 – 30 January 2016), also credited as Peter Quinlan (to avoid the ban on clerics playing inter county football), was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a wing-back at senior level for the Mayo county team.^[1]

Born near Ballina, County Mayo, Quinn was introduced to Gaelic football during his schooling at St Muredach's College. At club level he first lined out as a minor with Ardnaree before later joining the senior team.^{[citation needed]}

Quinn made his debut on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Mayo senior team. He went on to play a key role during a hugely successful era, and won two All-Ireland medals and four Connacht medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.^{[citation needed]}

Quinn retired from inter-county football following the conclusion of the 1951 championship.^{[citation needed]}

Fr Quinn was a native of Quignashee, Ballina, and was ordained in Dalgan Park, Navan, County Meath, for the Columban Missionaries in 1950. His brother Des was also a Columban Fathers.^[2]

After spending several years engaged in fundraising activities for the missionary work of the Columban Fathers, Fr. Quinn became pastor of St. James Church in Lake Placid, Florida, in 1979.^[3] In 1982, he was installed as the first pastor of St. Anthony Church in Lakeland, Florida, remaining in that position until 1996.^[4] He relocated to the Daytona Beach area, assisting with local parishes, and then returned to Ireland.^[5]
