Quentin John Coryatt (born August 1, 1970 in Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands) is a former American football linebacker in the NFL who played for the Indianapolis Colts and the Dallas Cowboys between 1992 and 1999.

Coryatt attended Baytown Lee high school in Baytown, Texas. He accepted a football scholarship to attend Texas A&M University. In his junior season at Texas A&M, he gained notoriety in a nationally televised game in 1991 by knocking out Texas Christian University wide receiver Kyle McPherson with a ferocious hit on a pass over the middle, breaking McPherson's jaw in three places. ESPN named it the "Hit of the Year". In his junior season, the Aggie defense ranked first in the nation. He was selected second team All-American and all-SWC, and also was named the SWC Defensive Player of the Year. Coryatt elected to forgo his senior season and declare for the 1992 NFL Draft. He was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the 1st round with the second overall pick.

Coryatt played in 78 games over a six year stretch for the Colts, and although he was a solid contributor, he never lived up to the stardom that was expected of him by virtue of his high draft status. After spending the 1998 season on injured reserve, Coryatt joined the Cowboys for the 1999 season, appearing in four games for Dallas. Coryatt retired after the 1999 season.

He currently runs a program for disadvantaged youth in Houston.
