Howard Leslie Quigg (1887 – 1980) was an American policeman who was twice the chief of police in Miami, Florida, in the periods 1921-1928 and 1937–1944. Quigg was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. In 1928, he and some of his officers were accused of the murder of a Black man in their custody. Quigg was indicted in 1928 after three Miami police officers beat Harry Kier, a Black bellboy, to death for allegedly insulting a white woman at the hotel where he worked. Although he was taken into custody in late March, the criminal charges were dismissed by May because the witness did not testify.
