List of protected areas of Quebec

This list of protected areas of Quebec includes federally, provincially and municipally administered parks and wildlife reserves in Quebec, the largest province in Canada.

Note that both federally and provincially administered parks in Quebec are labelled "parc national" (national park). Federal national parks are distinguished by the addition of "of Canada" in their official name.

The following parks are managed by Parks Canada:

In Quebec, provincial parks are called "national parks", and are managed by the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec, also known as Sépaq.

The ecological reserves, the biodiversity reserves and the aquatic reserves are managed by the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs (Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks) of Québec.

In Quebec, the 86 "zone d'exploitation contrôlée" (controlled harvesting zone) (ZEC) are managed by non profit corporation. This category of protected areas is subdivided by "Zec of rivers" (mainly for fishing mission) and "Zec of lands".
