The Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec ({{Lit|Quebec Student Sports Network}}), abbreviated RSEQ, is the governing body of primary and secondary school, collegiate, and university sport in Quebec. It also serves as a regional membership association for Canadian universities which assists in co-ordinating competition between their university level athletic programs and providing contact information, schedules, results, and releases about those programs and events to the public and the media. This is similar to what would be called a "college athletic conference" in the United States.

The RSEQ was founded in 1971 as the Association sportive universitaire du Québec/Quebec University Athletic Association, abbreviated as ASUQ and QUAA, following the reformulation of three university athletic associations spanning the universities of Ontario and Quebec. After the merger between Quebec's university, collegiate, and high school governing bodies in 1989, the amalgamated association was named the Fédération du sport scolaire du Québec/Quebec Student Sports Federation, abbreviated FSSQ and QSSF. The current name has been in use since November 2010.{{cite web |title=U Sports Histoire |url=https://usports.ca/fr/a-propos/histoire |website=U Sports |access-date=23 March 2024 |language=fr-CA}}{{cite web |title=U Sports History |url=https://usports.ca/en/about/history |website=U Sports |access-date=23 March 2024 |language=en-CA}}

The RSEQ is one of four provencial governing bodies that are members of the national governing body for university athletics, U Sports. The other three regional associations coordinating university-level sports in Canada are Ontario University Athletics (OUA), Atlantic University Sport (AUS), and the Canada West Universities Athletic Association (Canada West, CW).

As with all of Canada's provincial high school athletics associations, the RSEQ is an affiliate member of the United States–based National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).
