List of Members of the Legislative Council of Quebec

The Legislative Council of Quebec was the unelected upper house of the Quebec legislature. It was abolished effective December 31, 1968.

The Council was composed of 24 members, appointed by the Lieutenant Governor upon recommendation of the Premier. Each councillor nominally represented a portion of the Province of Quebec called a division. Members were appointed for life; in 1963 the rule was changed to retire members at age 75, but this did not apply to already-appointed members, and in the event remained entirely theoretical since the Council was abolished before it could be applied to anyone.

During its existence, all Members of the Legislative Council belonged to either the Quebec Liberal Party, the Conservative Party of Quebec, or the Union Nationale.

When it was dissolved the standings were: Union Nationale – 15, Liberal – 9.
