The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Quebec:
Quebec, a province in the eastern part of Canada, lies between Hudson Bay and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is the only Canadian province with a predominantly French-speaking population and the only one whose sole official language is French at the provincial level. Sovereignty plays a large role in the politics of Quebec, and the official opposition social-democratic Parti Québécois advocates national sovereignty for the province and secession from Canada. Sovereigntist governments held referendums on independence in 1980 and in 1995; voters rejected both {{nowrap|proposals{{tsp}}{{mdash}}{{tsp}}}}the latter by a very narrow margin. In 2006 the House of Commons of Canada passed a symbolic motion recognizing the "Québécois as a nation within a united Canada."{{cite web|url= http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&Parl=39&Ses=1&DocId=2528725#SOB-1788846 | work= Hansard of 39th Parliament, 1st Session; No. 087 |title= Routine Proceedings: The Québécois |publisher= Parliament of Canada |date= November 22, 2006 |access-date= April 30, 2008}}

- Pronunciation: {{IPAc-en|k|ə|ˈ|b|ɛ|k}} or {{IPAc-en|k|w|ᵻ|ˈ|b|ɛ|k}} ({{langx|fr|Québec}} {{IPA|fr|kebɛk||FR-Québec.ogg}})According to the Canadian government, Québec (with the acute accent) is the official name in French and Quebec (without the accent) is the province's official name in English; the name is [http://geonames.nrcan.gc.ca/info/pan_can_e.php one of 81 locales of pan-Canadian significance with official forms in both languages] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091210041815/http://geonames.nrcan.gc.ca/info/pan_can_e.php |date=2009-12-10 }}. In this system, the official name of the capital is Québec in both official languages. The Quebec government renders both names as Québec in both languages.

- Common endonym(s):
- Official endonym(s):
- Adjectival(s): Quebec/Québécois
- Demonym(s): Quebecker/QuebecerThis is the preferred spelling according to Hansard, the official record of debates in the House of Commons (e.g., [http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?DocId=2534202&Language=E&Mode=1&Parl=39&Ses=1#SOBQ-1795445 39th Parliament, 1st Session - Edited Hansard - Number 085 - November 23, 2006]). Also, technically speaking, the commonly accepted English spelling is "Quebecker". The rules of English pronunciation require a "k" after the "c" for a hard sound. In the Oxford Dictionary, "Quebecker" is the only spelling offered (see [https://archive.today/20120714012912/http://oxforddictionaries.com/view/entry/m_en_gb0679570%23m_en_gb0679570.005 Oxford Dictionary Online]). The Globe & Mail uses "Quebecker" (see: [https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/article717368.ece Quebeckers' mental Bloc] - article by Jeffrey Simpson after the 2008 election; Oct. 18, 2008). It is sometimes spelled "Quebecer" in other newspapers and magazines, such as the Montreal Gazette and Macleans magazine./Québécois
