Quinneys is a comedy-drama play by the British writer Horace Annesley Vachell, which was first staged in 1914. It was a major hit on its release and went on to become one of the author's most successful plays. However, despite its popularity in London the play met with a lukewarm reception when it opened in New York City in 1915. It focuses on Joseph Quinney the endearing but stubborn head of a family firm of antiques dealers whose firm views cause problems for his relatives and friends.
The play's success led Vachell to write a series of novels following on the adventures of the family.
