WMFQ (92.9 FM, "92Q") is a commercial radio station in Ocala, Florida, broadcasting to the Gainesville-Ocala, Florida area on 92.9 FM.

The station began broadcasting in July 1977 with a beautiful music format; the calls stood for We Mean Fine Quality, as in the station's "quality" music. The format evolved into adult contemporary by 1990, using the slogan "Q-Lite 92.9" and then "Q92.9." The current oldies format was adopted in 2004.

Despite the "Biggest Hits of the 60s and 70s" slogan, the station also plays a fair amount of music from the 1980s, having added artists like Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Naked Eyes, George Michael, Tiffany, and Culture Club to its playlist in recent months.

On August 1, 2011 WMFQ changed their format to hot adult contemporary, branded as "92Q".
