'''''Quebecius''''' is an extinct genus of porolepiform sarcopterygian fish which lived during the Late Devonian period of Quebec, Canada.<ref>Schultze, Hans-Peter & Arsenault, Marius. (2011). Quebecius quebecensis (Whiteaves), a porolepiform crossopterygian (Pisces) from the Late Devonian of Quebec, Canada. Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences. 24. 2351-2361. 10.1139/e87-221.</ref> It is related to ''Glyptolepis'', although distinguished from the latter by an especially broad pelvic fin base: uniquely among lobe-finned fish, only the pectoral fins are lobed. Specimens have been found to measure between 5 and 60 centimeters long.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.miguasha.ca/mig-en/quebecius.php|title=Miguasha: Quebecius|website=Miguasha National Park|access-date=2024-01-08|archive-date=2024-01-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240108003213/https://www.miguasha.ca/mig-en/quebecius.php|url-status=dead}}</ref>
