James Quinn (born Stephen James Quinn on December 15 1974 in Coventry) is an English-born Northern Irish former professional footballer. A forward, his final club was Northampton Town. He played for numerous clubs in his career, and was also a Northern Ireland international.

After four league games with Birmingham City, Quinn was sold to Second Division Blackpool for £25,000. He scored a total of 47 goals and made 150 first-team starts over five years. Two of those goals were scored against Chelsea in the League Cup second round.

These exploits led West Bromwich Albion to sign Quinn for £500,000. He made his Albion debut in a 1-1 home draw against Bury on 21 February, 1998. He scored twice in a 2-1 win over Middlesbrough on 4 April, 1998, his first goals for the club; however, he found goals hard to come by during his Baggies career, scoring just ten times in 123 appearances in all competitions. During 2001-02, Quinn was loaned out to Notts County, but returned to the Hawthorns when a permanent deal could not be agreed. He was then loaned out again, to Bristol Rovers. In the days following Albion's promotion to the Premiership in April 2002, Quinn found himself surplus to requirements and was released. A few days later he moved to Dutch side Willem II.

Quinn was released by Willem II in January 2005. He had been unhappy with his life in the Netherlands, and set about finding a new club in England whilst training with the MK Dons. He quickly became Paul Sturrock's first permanent signing for Sheffield Wednesday, joining on a short-term contract until the end of the season. After scoring two goals in fifteen appearances during four months at Hillsborough, Quinn signed for Peterborough United in August 2005. In October of the same year he went on a month's loan to Bristol City.

He signed for Northampton Town in August 2006. On December 21, 2006, a poor start to the season saw him placed on the transfer list alongside Andy Kirk and Scott McGleish. In March 2007 Quinn joined Scunthorpe United on loan for the remainder of the season. He was an unused substitute for the Iron on several occasions, but did not experience any first-team action.

Quinn retired from playing football on September 11 2007, due to his failure to break back into the Northern Ireland team. He collected over fifty caps for his country, and scored goals against Luxembourg, Malta and Serbia & Montenegro.
