Jim Quigley (1919 – 4 October 2005) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played for his local club Dundalk Young Irelands, the Louth county team and Leinster. He later served as manager of his county and was in charge when Louth defeated Cork in the final of the 1957 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.[1]

Quigley was a member of the Louth panel that won the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship in 1936.[2] After graduating to senior level he went on to win the Leinster Senior Football Championship twice with Louth, captaining the team in 1948.[3]

In 1959 he trained Dundalk side Clan na Gael to a Louth Senior Football Championship title.

He was chosen at centre half-forward on the Louth team of the Millennium in February 2000.[4]
