Joseph Ronald "J. R." Quiñahan (born May 8, 1984) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the NLEX Road Warriors of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
Quiñahan was drafted by the Alaska Aces seventh overall in the 2007 PBA draft. In his rookie year in the PBA with Alaska, Quiñahan averaged 2.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 9.7 minutes in 39 games.
On September 22, 2008, Quiñahan was traded by the Aces to the Burger King Whoppers for Mark Borboran.
On March 2010, him, Mark Yee, and Aaron Aban was traded by Air21 (formerly Burger King) to the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters for Yancy de Ocampo and Ren-Ren Ritualo.
On August 2010, Quiñahan was traded back to Air21 in a three-team trade that sent Ali Peek to Talk 'N Text and future Rain or Shine teammate and the other half of Extra Rice, Inc., Beau Belga.
Quiñahan was again traded by Air21, this time to Powerade Tigers for 2 future draft picks.
On August 26, 2011, him and Norman Gonzales were traded to Rain or Shine Elasto Painters for Doug Kramer and Josh Vanlandingham. With Rain or Shine, he has found his niche in the league and has had his longest tenure with a team and the best seasons of his career. He also was paired with another beefy center Beau Belga, forming the Extra Rice, Inc.'. On March 21, 2016, Quiñahan scored his new career-high 25 points in a 101-114 loss to Tropang TNT. He credits his weight-shedding as one of the top reasons for his career season in the 2015–16 PBA season, weighing from a high of 295 pounds down to 260 pounds and until reaching 235 pounds.
