The Conservative Party of Quebec (CPQ; French: Parti conservateur du Québec, pronounced [paʁti kɔ̃sɛʁvatœʁ dy kebɛk], PCQ) is a provincial political party in Quebec, Canada. It was authorized on 25 March 2009 by the Chief Electoral Officer of Quebec.^[2] The CPQ has gradually run more candidates in successive elections, with 27 in the 2012 general election and 125 (all seats contested) in 2022. The party has not won a seat in the National Assembly of Quebec; however, under leader Éric Duhaime the CPQ won about 12.9% of the popular vote in the 2022 election, a major increase from prior elections. Previously on June 18, 2021 Claire Samson crossed the floor to join the party after having won election in 2018 as a candidate of the governing Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ).

For the 2014 provincial election, the party used the name "Équipe Adrien Pouliot – Parti conservateur du Québec" (English: Team Adrien Pouliot – Conservative Party of Quebec). For the 2022 provincial election, the party used the name "Parti conservateur du Québec – Équipe Éric Duhaime" (English: Conservative Party of Quebec – Team Éric Duhaime).
