Le siège de Québec se déroule du 26 juin au 18 septembre 1759, durant la guerre de Sept Ans. Le 13 septembre, les troupes britanniques sous le major-général James Wolfe vainquent une force composée de militaires français, de miliciens canadiens et d'alliés autochtones menée par le lieutenant-général Louis-Joseph de Montcalm. Cette importante victoire conduira à la cession de la Nouvelle-France à la Grande-Bretagne par le Traité de Paris de 1763. Le nouveau régime aura un impact déterminant sur l'ensemble des institutions de l'ancienne colonie française. Il donnera aussi lieu à un réalignement des alliances avec les Premières Nations.
