Joseph "Joe" Quaid (born 1972) is an Irish hurling manager and former player. He has been the manager of the Kildare senior team since 2015.
Born in Feohanagh, County Limerick, Quaid was introduced to hurling by his father, an All-Ireland medal winner with the Limerick junior team. At schools level he played with Newcastle West Vocational School, while simultaneously playing at juvenile and underage levels with Feohanagh. Eventually playing with the club's senior team, Quaid subsequently transferred to the Murroe-Boher club where he won one championship medal.
Quaid made his debut on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Limerick minor team. He later joined the under-21 side but enjoyed little success in either of these grades. Quaid made his senior debut during the 1994 championship. He went on to play a key role for Limerick as goalkeeper during a relatively successful era, and won two Munster medals and two National Hurling League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team, Quaid won two Railway Cup medals, one on the field of play and one as a non-playing substitute. Quaid retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 2000 championship, but returned two years later for one final season.
