• Name: Quin, Edward Turnly
• Gender: Male
• Birth Date: 1762
• Death Date: 7  July  1823
• Occupation: journalist

Quin was a graduate of Trinity College Dublin. He settled in London and became a journalist and reporter of debates; subsequently, he became editor of the pro-reform newspaper The Traveller. He also published some of Leigh Hunt's essays and went on to own three weekly papers the Mirror of the Times, The Englishman, and the British Mercury.

This identification is supported by the fact that Quin was elected as a council member for the ward of Farringdon Without in 1805. On 21 December 1821 Godwin recorded going to a wardmote at St Bride's Church, Fleet Street where he met Quin. St Bride's is within the ward of Castle Baynard, adjacent to Farringdon Without so it seems likely that Quin was attending in relation to some issue of interest to both wards. The Quin listed in the diary also socializes with John Philpott Curran and Peter Finnerty which strengthen the identification.
