The Diocese of Quincy is an Anglican Church in North America diocese encompassing 34 parishes, 23 in Illinois and also in Wisconsin, Colorado, Tennessee, and Florida, in the United States. The diocese was a founding member of the Anglican Church in North America in 2009.

Most of the current diocese was part of the Episcopal Church from its establishment in 1877, until in November 2008 a majority of the diocesan synod voted to leave and associate with Anglican Province of the Southern Cone as part of the Anglican realignment movement. After the synod, statements from the Episcopal Church and the Southern Cone express conflicting views of what constitutes the diocese.

The former diocese cathedral was St. Paul's in Peoria since 1963, although the diocese retained the name of the location of its original see city, Quincy, where its cathedral was St. John's, in order to lessen confusion with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Peoria. The current is the Cathedral of St. Andrew the Apostle, in Peoria.

Keith L. Ackerman was bishop from June 24, 1994 until his resignation on November 1, 2008. He is a member of Forward in Faith, the Society of King Charles the Martyr, the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament, the Guild of All Souls, the Society of Mary, and the Society of Our Lady of Walsingham.
