Daniel Patrick Quinn (born September 11, 1970) is an American football coach who is the head coach for the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL). He came to prominence as the defensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks from 2013 to 2014, helping craft a Cover 3 defense that featured the Legion of Boom secondary. Under Quinn, Seattle made two consecutive Super Bowl appearances, winning the franchise's first in Super Bowl XLVIII.

Quinn then served six seasons as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons from 2015 to 2020. His most successful season with the Falcons was in 2016 when he led the team to Super Bowl LI. Quinn would make the playoffs only once following that, resulting in his firing early into 2020. He was hired as defensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys in 2021 and was named the Assistant Coach of the Year after the team's defense led the league in turnovers. Quinn was named head coach of the Commanders in 2024.
