Maurice Couture, GOQ (born November 3, 1926) is a Canadian Archbishop Emeritus and the former Archbishop of Québec.
Born in Saint-Pierre-de-Broughton, Quebec, he was ordained a priest in 1951. He was appointed Archbishop of Quebec in 1990 and retired in 2002. As archbishop, Couture refrained from taking a strong stance on issues such as abortion, where most Quebec Catholics disagree with their church.
