Quentin Earl Klenk (February 13, 1919 – January 4, 1979) was an American football tackle and placekicker.
Klenk was born in LaMoure, North Dakota, in 1919. He played college football for USC, earning varsity letters in 1939 and 1940. He instead played professional football in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) for the Buffalo Bisons at the start of the 1946 season. He was released by Buffalo on September 23 and signed by the Chicago Rockets on October 1, largely due to his talent for "jet-propelled" kickoffs.
