Quail Valley is a neighborhood dating from 1969 of Missouri City (a southwest suburb of Houston), in Fort Bend County, Texas, USA.
The homeowners association is the Quail Valley Fund.
The community was developed beginning in 1969 by James H. "Mac" MacNaughton. A friend suggested that he travel to the area to do land scouting, and MacNaughton decided to buy what became Quail Valley because he believed its appearance looked like that of a country club. He named it Quail Valley because a lot of quail were in the area at the time. He initially bought 600 acres (240 ha) of space and began living in Quail Valley when it first opened. A golf course was added and additional land was acquired. Development of houses ended at the end of the 1970s.
In the 1970s the community hosted several golf tournaments conducted by the Houston Open.
In 1985 MacNaughton gave up control over the community country club and sold his Quail Valley lands.
In 2008 MacNaughton died. The former Executive Nine golf course, acquired by the city government and turned into a public park, was renamed MacNaughton Park.
