Magog (locally ; [maˈɡɔɡ]) is a city in southeastern Quebec, Canada, about 120 kilometres (75 mi) east of Montreal at the confluence of Lake Memphremagog—after which the city was named—with the Rivière aux Cerises and the Magog River. It is a major centre and industrial city in the Regional County Municipality of Memphremagog. The city lies in the Eastern Townships tourist region.
In 2002 the City of Magog was merged with the Township of Magog and the Village of Omerville as part of the municipal reorganization in Quebec.


The city is named after the biblical Gog and Magog. The name "Magog" was recorded on August 10, 1603 in a register of the parish of St-Jean-Baptiste de La Rochelle (France). It refers to one of Noah's grandsons mentioned in Ezekiel XXXVIII:2–6. In this passage, God promises to protect Israel from Gog and his allies by gathering them up for destruction.
