Oscar John Quinlivan (1897-1949) was an Australian rugby league footballer of the 1920s.

Born at Cundle near Taree, New South Wales and one of 12 brothers, Oscar Quinlivan was a winger, centre-three quarter and lock-forward who played for the South Sydney Rabbitohs for eight seasons between 1923-1930. He featured in four grand finals during his career, winning two of them in 1928 and 1929 and losing two in 1923 and 1924. He was also a member of the squad that won the 1925 Premiership.
