Q Society is a anti Islamic organisation. It was founded in 2010 by a series of activists who collectively banded together to oppose the rise and influence of Islam in Australia. It is headed by Debbie Robinson & Andrew Horwood. The Q Society is closely associated with leading American Islamophobic activist Robert Spencer, who is a member of the group and helps sponsor its efforts.

The Q Society is a grassroots group, active in organising petitions, letterbox drops, discussion groups, forums and events in relation to the dangers of Islam. The group are known for pressuring local government and councils to take action against the Islamic community, including banning burqas, blocking construction proposals for Islamic buildings and houses of worship and other things of this nature. The group were instrumental in organising Geert Wilders Australian tour.

It is the largest private funder of far right Islamophobic causes in Australia and is well connected to a similar networks overseas. Much of its propaganda has come from Christian fundamentalist Jack Chic. They were seen distributing Islamophobic propaganda at the Reclaim Australia rallies through their political front the Australian Liberty Alliance.
