Liam Quaide (born 12 August 1979) is an Irish Social Democrats politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Cork East constituency since the 2024 general election.

He went on to complete a Master of Arts in Ethical and Cultural Studies at NUI Galway and a doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Trinity College Dublin.

Quaide argued that the government had rubber-stamped the closure despite mounting evidence that residents were being moved from single rooms to shared dorms, severing their connection to the community.

Quaide praised Green Party TD Neasa Hourigan for her efforts in the Owenacurra Centre campaign, noting her actions were more impactful than those of several other local TDs.
