Quavas Kirk (born April 13, 1988 in Aurora, Illinois) is an American soccer right winger who currently plays for D.C. United of Major League Soccer.

Quavas Kirk was drafted by the Galaxy in the 3rd round of the 2005 MLS SuperDraft, 34th overall. He made his MLS debut in 2006. He scored his first professional goal August 1, 2006 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in a 2-0 fourth-round win over Dallas Roma F.C.

Kirk has been a standout in the United States' under-17 national team, scoring 22 goals in 53 games. He played in the 2005 U-17 World Championship.

Kirk was expected to play a key role for the U-20 national team in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup but picked up a pre-tournament injury and was excluded from the roster.

Until the arrival of David Beckham, Kirk wore the number 23 shirt for the Galaxy. However, despite publicly announcing his desire to retain the jersey, he was handed the number 15 to accommodate Beckham, who prefers to wear number 7 or 23. (Beckham had chosen the number 23 because 7 was already taken when he was transferred to Real Madrid by Raul and he admires Michael Jordan).

On February 15, 2008, Kirk was traded to DC United in exchange for the rights to Greg Vanneycite web
