George Alderson Quin (22 January 1914 – 5 August 1990) was the third Bishop of Down and Dromore.

Educated at Trinity College, Dublin[1] and ordained in 1938, his first post was a curacy at St Jude, Ballynafeigh, Belfast.[2] He was then Dean’s Vicar of St Anne’s Cathedral, Belfast. After further incumbencies at Holywood, Magheralin[3] and Ballymacarrett he became Archdeacon of Down in 1956. Fourteen years later he was appointed to the episcopate, serving for a decade – he was elected Bishop of Down and Dromore 26 November 1969 and consecrated 6 January 1970; he resigned on 31 March 1980.
