520 |a <i>Context<i/>. Multiply imaged gravitationally lensed quasars are among the most interesting and useful observable extragalactic phenomena. Because their study constitutes a unique tool in various fields of astronomy, they are highly sought, but difficult to find. Even in this era of all-sky surveys, discovering them remains a great challenge, with barely a few hundred systems currently known.<i>Aims<i/>. We aim to discover new multiply imaged quasar candidates in the recently published <i>Gaia<i/> Data Release 2 (DR2), which is the astrometric and photometric all-sky survey with the highest spatial resolution that achieves effective resolutions from 0.4″ to 2.2″.<i>Methods<i/>. We cross-matched a merged list of quasars and candidates with <i>Gaia<i/> DR2 and found 1 839 143 counterparts within 0.5″. We then searched matches with more than two <i>Gaia<i/> DR2 counterparts within 6″. We further narrowed the resulting list using astrometry and photometry compatibility criteria between the <i>Gaia<i/> DR2 counterparts. A supervised machine-learning method, called extremely randomized trees, was finally adopted to assign a probability of being lensed to each remaining system.<i>Results<i/>. We report the discovery of two quadruply imaged quasar candidates that are fully detected in <i>Gaia<i/> DR2. These are the most promising new quasar lens candidates from <i>Gaia<i/> DR2 and a simple singular isothermal ellipsoid lens model is able to reproduce their image positions to within ~1 mas. This Letter demonstrates the discovery potential of <i>Gaia<i/> for gravitational lenses.
