The culture of Quebec is a Western culture that is rooted in the history and society of the French-speaking majority. As the only majority French-speaking region in North America, the culture of French Quebecers differs from that of the well over 300 million English-speaking citizens of Canada and the United States who surround it, as well as from that of France.

For historical and linguistic reasons, francophone Quebec also has cultural links with other North American French-speaking communities, particularly with the Acadians of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Franco-Ontarian communities in Eastern Ontario, and to a lesser extent with the French Canadian communities of northern Ontario and Western Canada and the Cajun French revival movements in Louisiana, USA. As of 2001 (last census), 83% of all Quebecers have French as their mother tongue or speak mostly French at home ; since French is the only official language in the province, up to 95% of all residents know and use French in their daily activities .

History made Quebec a meeting place for cultures, where people from around the world experience America, but from a little distance and through a different eye. The culture of Quebec is connected to the strong cultural currents of the rest of Canada, United States, France, and Britain all at the same time. As such, it is often described as a crossroads between Europe and America. The Encyclopædia Britannica describes contemporary Quebec culture as a post-1960s phenomenon resulting from the Quiet Revolution (Révolution tranquille), an essentially homogenous socially liberal counter-culture phenomenon supported and financed by both of Quebec's major political parties who differ essentially not in a right vs left continuum but a federalist vs sovereignist/separatist continuum.
