Quinn Allman (born January 18, 1982 in Orem, Utah) is the guitarist in the American Rock band The Used.

Allman grew up in Orem, Utah, in an anti-Mormon family. At a young age, Quinn started playing in bands. His first band was a band called "Hey Santos!". At age 15, he became a member of The Used, influenced by bands such as Face to Face, Goldfinger, Thursday, Kenna, Weezer, Jimmy Eat World, and New Transit Direction. He is openly bisexual. He is also a vegetarian and supports PETA.

Quinn passed the time with petty theft and panhandling. He has been described by bandmates as "the nutty kid who eats his own boogers and doesn't wash his hands ever". All bandmates share the thought that he is a very comical individual. Singer Bert McCracken of The Used describes him as a "truly spiritual and warm" individual.

In late 2003, Quinn was arrested outside of his own tour bus for opposing an officer who was forcing fans off of the property.

Alongside The Used, Quinn has a side project entitled "Evaline", which played on the 2006 Warped Tour.
