Quebecers or Quebeckers (French: Québécois) are terms that are sometimes used to refer to people living in the province of Quebec in Canada, though such is not the only definition of Québécois. This identification can be used by some Francophone people of Quebec to refer to themselves.

A majority in the Canadian House of Commons in 2006 approved a motion tabled by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, which stated that the Québécois are a nation within a united Canada. Harper later elaborated that the motion's definition of Québécois relies on personal decisions to self-identify as Québécois, and therefore is a personal choice.Self-identification as Québécois became dominant in the 1960s; prior to this, the Francophone people of Quebec identified themselves as French Canadians.
