Keith Quinn ( born in Te Kuiti, 1 September 1946), is one of New Zealand's top television and radio sports commentators.

Quinn was educated at Wellington College, before joining the NZBC as a sports journalist in 1967. His main area of reportage is in the sport of rugby union, and he has been a test match commentator in this sport since 1973. He has also covered the Olympic and Commonwealth Games, as well as a wide variety of other sports.

Quinn was awarded the MNZM for his services to sports journalism in 1997.

In July 2007, TVNZ announced Quinn would be made redundant from the state broadcaster, along with other experienced sports broadcasters John McBeth and Geoff Bryan.
