Rebecca Quinn (born May 24, 1971) is an American professional racing cyclist from Quakertown, Pennsylvania.
Quinn finished third in the 2007 UCI Track Cycling World Championships - Women's Scratch but was relegated as she had made contact with another rider during the sprint finish.
Quinn took USA Cycling to arbitration in a Colorado Springs courtroom on July 9, 2008, after she was not selected as part of the squad for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She claimed that Sarah Hammer was selected in her place due to favoritism as Hammer is engaged to be married to the team coach, Andy Sparks. Although the court did not find in her favor, they did order USA Cycling to pay the costs as the actions of their coaches had caused legitimate doubt over the fairness of any rider being selected.
