The Conseil du patronat du Québec or CPQ (English: Quebec Council of Employers) is an institution that promotes business interests in Quebec, Canada.

It was established on January 20, 1969 and plays a significant role in the politics of Quebec by issuing opinions on the impact of the governments' decisions on the economy of Quebec.[1]

Its positions often favour a corporate-friendly governance, fiscal conservatism, and constitutional stability or status quo; for example, it supported Bill 78.

Yves-Thomas Dorval is its current president.[2]

Marc-André Roy is now the President of the Board of Administration.
