The Quebec Liberal Party ( , PLQ) is a centrist political party in Quebec. It has been independent of the federal Liberal Party of Canada since 1955.

The party has traditionally supported Quebec federalism: i.e., in favour of Quebec remaining within Canada, and operating within Canadian federalism. The party also supports a role for government in the economy, although in recent years its economic policies have moved towards neoliberalism. It remains, however, a socially liberal party.

The Quebec Liberals have always been associated with the colour red; each of their three main opponents in different eras have been associated with the colour blue. In 2007, however, the Action démocratique du Québec (ADQ), whose official colours are blue and red, temporarily became the official opposition in the National Assembly of Quebec.
