qconnect was a network of integrated public passenger transport services that covered subsidised and/or regulated bus, coach and aviation networks in regional Queensland, Australia. qconnect was introduced by the Queensland Government in December 2007, and was an agency operated by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR). qconnect provided greater connectivity and accessibility of services throughout regional, rural and remote communities by working with contracted transport operators.

qconnect was the regional counterpart to the Translink network operating across South East Queensland and some parts of regional Queensland. Throughout 2022 and 2023, many bus operations were transferred from the qconnect network to the wider Translink network in order to create a more consistent and simplified public transport network in Queensland. By 16 January 2023, all regional networks had been transferred to Translink and the qconnect brand was abolished.
