Brian Quinn (born 1972) is an Irish former hurler who played as a right corner-back for the Clare senior hurling team.
He made his debut in a National Hurling League game against Galway in 1994 and was an unused substitute for Clare's Munster and All-Ireland triumphs in 1995.
Quinn made his senior championship debut against Kerry in 1997, however, he was once again confined to the substitutes' bench for Clare's subsequent Munster and All-Ireland successes.
While Clare were installed as the favourites to retain their All-Ireland crown, a series of bizarre events led to one of the most controversial championship summers ever.
Quinn's side put up a good fight against Kilkenny, however, a combined tally of 2-13 for Henry Shefflin and D. J. Carey gave "the Cats" a seven-point victory.
[2] Clare bounced back in 2003 and finally beat tipp in first round with his brother Andrew scoring an all important goal only to get knocked out by cork and galway in the qualifiers.
Quinn continued to line out with Clare for the next few seasons but called time on his inter-county career following the team's exit from the championship in the 2005 all ireland semi final.
