Querqueville ({{IPA|fr|kɛʁkəvil}}) is a former commune in the Manche department in north-western France. On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Cherbourg-en-Cotentin.[https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/eli/arrete/2015/12/1/INTB1529848A/jo/texte Arrêté préfectoral] 1 December 2015 {{in lang|fr}}
The Chapel of Saint Germanus (Chapelle Saint-Germain) with its trefoil floorplan incorporates elements of one of the earliest surviving places of Christian worship in the Cotentin Peninsula - perhaps second only to the Gallo-Roman baptistry at Port-Bail.
