Quebecius is an extinct genus of porolepiform sarcopterygian fish which lived during the Late Devonian period of Quebec, Canada.Schultze, Hans-Peter & Arsenault, Marius. (2011). Quebecius quebecensis (Whiteaves), a porolepiform crossopterygian (Pisces) from the Late Devonian of Quebec, Canada. Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences. 24. 2351-2361. 10.1139/e87-221. It is related to Glyptolepis, although distinguished from the latter by an especially broad pelvic fin base: uniquely among lobe-finned fish, only the pectoral fins are lobed. Specimens have been found to measure between 5 and 60 centimeters long.{{cite web|url=https://www.miguasha.ca/mig-en/quebecius.php|title=Miguasha: Quebecius|website=Miguasha National Park}}
