The Royal Quebec Golf Club (French: Club de Golf Royal Québec) is a golf club founded in 1874 in Boischatel by members of the local business community, mainly Scots-Quebecer bankers and businessmen.

Located approximately 12 miles (18 km) east of Quebec City, near Montmorency Falls, it has been a semi-private club since 1925. One of the oldest golf clubs in North America, the current 36-hole facility is situated on a 186-hectare piece of land with pine trees. The clubhouse, by the 18th green of the "Quebec" course, overlooks l'Île d'Orléans and Quebec City.
