David Quinn (Irish: Dáithí Ó Cuinn) (born 1970 in County Galway) is an Irish artist.
Quinn grew up in Sligo, studied art at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin and painted there for a number of years after graduating. Following two years based in Clifden, County Galway he settled in County Mayo where he currently lives and works.
Quinn is best known for his atmospheric, figurative, landscape based paintings which draw on the Mayo countryside and its vernacular architecture and gardens. The Far Garden project was created as a means of presenting an ongoing body of similarly themed work.
