Quebec Veto Reference (Reference re Amendment to the Canadian Constitution) [1982] 2 S.C.R. 793 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada's decision on whether the province of Quebec has veto power over Amendments to the Constitution of Canada. The issue came up during patriation debates, after the Supreme Court ruled in the Patriation Reference that the federal government could unilaterally patriate the Constitution of Canada.

The Supreme Court ruled that Quebec did not have an unwritten right to the veto.
