Joseph J. Quinn (December 25, 1864 – November 12, 1940) was an Australian second baseman in Major League Baseball. Born in Sydney, he was the only Australian-born player to reach the major leagues until 1986. He was a player-manager of the 1895 St. Louis Browns and the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, who had the worst record in major league history. He died at age 75 in St. Louis, Missouri.
