David Quincy (born September 13, 1939, Battle Sussex), better known as Dave Quincy (and also billed as Dave Quincey), is a British saxophonist and composer who was a founder-member of British jazz-rock bands If and Zzebra.

Before joining If, Quincy had played in the early 1960s with Jet Harris,[1] [2] and with Chris Farlowe and the Thunderbirds from August 1965 to February 1967 where he played with Dave Greenslade (who would also later briefly join If when their first line-up split, before going on to form his own group). Quincy then recorded two albums with Manfred Mann's Chapter Three before recording for JJ Jackson, where he met up with Dick Morrissey and Terry Smith, with whom he would form If.[3] When If broke up, Quincy went on to become a founder-member of Zzebra, with Terry Smith.
