Laplace operators on metric graphs give rise to Klein-Gordon and wave operators. Solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation and the wave equation are studied and finite propagation speed is established. Massive, free quantum fields are then constructed, whose commutator function is just the Klein-Gordon kernel. As a consequence of finite propagation speed Einstein causality (local commutativity) holds. Comparison is made with an alternative construction of free fields involving RT-algebras.
