Gavin Quinnell (born 25 November 1983 in Llanelli, Wales) is a Welsh rugby union player, currently with Italian Premiership club Viadana. He is the son of Derek Quinnell and brother of Scott Quinnell and Craig Quinnell, all former Wales internationals.

Before joining Llanelli Scarlets he started rugby in his home village for Furnace United RFC, as a youth player where he played mainly at No 8.

In 2006, he left the Llanelli Scarlets to join Worcester Warriors, signing on a two-year deal. [cite news |title=Scarlet Quinnell joins Worcester |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/english/5099346.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=2006-06-20 |accessdate=2008-02-13 ] He scored a total of nine tries in 20 appearances in his first season at Sixways and quickly became a cult hero with his all-action displays.

Quinnell can play at No 8, flanker or lock and establised himself as a powerful impact player for Warriors.

After not being offered a new contract by Worcester at the end of the 2007-08 season, Gavin was forced to find a new club. He has now moved on to Italian Premiership club Viadana.
