Quebec is the 9th album by Ween, released on August 5, 2003 on Sanctuary Records. It was the first album released after the band's contract with Elektra expired, and marked its return to independent labels.

The song "It's Gonna Be a Long Night" is featured in the game Tony Hawk's Underground 2. *The music video for "Transdermal Celebration" was animated by well known Disney animator Adam Phillips.

Music critic Mark Prindle named Quebec the best album of the 2000s (decade) in an interview on Fox News Channel's Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld.[4] Mojo named it the #39 best album of 2003.[5] "CMJ" named it the #8 best album of 2003.[6]

On August 11, 2011, Dean Ween quietly released a two-disc, MP3-only collection of songs called The Caesar Demos—named after the band's original working title for Quebec—to friends on his Facebook page. In his comment, he stated the songs were all recorded between 2001 and 2003 while drummer Claude Coleman, Jr. was recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident, and that many of the tracks featured only himself and Gene. In addition to a handful of recordings that eventually made the album, the demos feature several alternate takes as well as a number of songs that have remained unreleased.[7][8]
