The following is an incomplete list of starting quarterbacks that have started a regular season or post-season game for the Ottawa Redblacks franchise of the Canadian Football League (CFL). They are listed in order of appearance during the regular season or post-season, since 2002. Prior years list number of starts from greatest to fewest.
As defined in the 2016 CFL's Facts, Figures, and Records and the 2023 CFL Guide & Record Book, for historical record purposes and by the current Ottawa Redblacks' request, the Ottawa Football Clubs are considered to be a single entity since 1876 with two periods of inactivity (1997–2001 and 2006–2013). Consequently, this list includes figures from the Ottawa Football Club (1876–1898), Ottawa Rough Riders (1899–1919, 1931–1996), Ottawa Senators (1920–1930), Ottawa Renegades (2002–2005), and Ottawa Redblacks (2014–present).
