Rui Manuel Pinto dos Reis da Quinta (born 6 June 1960), known as Rui Quinta, is a Portuguese football manager and former player.
In July 2008, after several seasons working as a part of a backroom staff as well as for several lower level sides, Quinta accepted an invitation to manage Portuguese Second Division side Penafiel. At the helm of the Penafidelenses, Quinta guided his side to promotion to the Segunda Liga.
Following Penafiel's promotion to the second tier, Quinta left Penafiel for Gil Vicente. His stay with the Gilistas proved to be short-lived, as eight months into the job, Quinta resigned due to a succession of poor results.
On 13 June 2011, Quinta was appointed as the new manager of Varzim. However, a month into his spell at Varzim, Quinta left his post to take up an assistant manager role at FC Porto alongside Vítor Pereira. His spell as the number two proved to be successful one, as the Portistas claimed back-to-back league titles.
Quinta left the Dragões at the end of the 2012–13 season, following Vítor Pereira's departure from the club. After a one year absence, Quinta returned to the dug out to manage his former side Penafiel for a second spell. Quinta left the Rubro-Negros in March 2015 after three consecutive losses.
