The province of Quebec, Canada, is officially divided into 17 administrative regions. Traditionally (and unofficially), it is divided into around twenty regions. They have no government of their own, but rather serve primarily to organize the provision of provincial government services, most significantly the allocation of regional economic development funding. As of the 2021 Canadian census, the population of Quebec was 8,501,833, the land area was 1,298,599.75 km2 (501,392.17 sq mi) and the population density was 6.54 inhabitants per square kilometre (16.9/sq mi).[1]

Administrative regions are used to organize the delivery of provincial government services. They were also the basis of organization for regional conferences of elected officers (Template:Langx), with the exception of the Script error: No such module "Lang". and Script error: No such module "Lang". regions, which each had three Script error: No such module "Lang". or equivalent bodies. In the Script error: No such module "Lang". region, the Kativik Regional Government and Cree Regional Authority, in addition to their other functions, played the role of a Script error: No such module "Lang".. The subregions of Script error: No such module "Lang". and Script error: No such module "Lang". had their own regional conference of elected officers (Script error: No such module "Lang".).
