Quintín Babila Paredes (born Quintín Paredes y Babila; September 9, 1884 – January 30, 1973) was a Filipino lawyer, politician, and statesman.
He was born in Bangued, Abra, Philippines in 1884 to Juan Felix Paredes and Regine Babila.
He obtained his elementary education at the school his father had established, and also studied at the Colegio Seminario de Vigan and at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran. He pursued law at the Escuela de Leyes, finishing with degrees in Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Laws and Master of Arts. Graduating in 1907, Paredes took and passed the bar examinations the same year, and started his private practice in Manila.
He was appointed fourth prosecuting attorney on July 9, 1908, first prosecuting attorney on November 1, 1913, and served until March 1, 1917.
He served as Philippine Solicitor General in 1917 and 1918, as Attorney-General from 1918 to 1920, and as Secretary of Justice from 1920 to 1921. As Attorney-General, Paredes was a member of the first parliamentary mission to the United States in 1919. He resumed the practice of law in Manila in 1921.
He was elected to the Philippine House of Representatives to represent the Lone District of Abra in 1925, 1928, 1931, and 1934, serving as Speaker pro tempore of the House of Representatives from 1929 to 1931, and as the Speaker itself from 1933 till 1935. In 1935 he was elected as a member of the Philippine Assembly but he resigned to serve as the Philippines' Resident Commissioner.
Under the Tydings–McDuffie Act that created the Philippine Commonwealth Government, Paredes became its first Resident Commissioner, serving from February 14, 1936, until his resignation on September 29, 1938.
In 1938 he was again elected a member of the Philippine Assembly, and served as the Majority Floor Leader during this term. He was also elected as a member of the Philippine Senate from 1941 to 1945 that did not sit in session due to the onset of World War II and the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines.
