Quo is the seventh studio vinyl LP album by Status Quo from 1974. Featuring Francis Rossi, Richard Parfitt, Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan. Like the previous album Hello!, it consisted entirely of songs written or co-written by the group. The only guest musicians featured were Bob Young and Tom Parker, who played harmonica and piano respectively on "Break the Rules".

Despite the band believing the album's opening track, "Backwater", was the most suitable candidate for release as a single, the only track to actually be released as a single was "Break the Rules", in April 1974, and it peaked in the UK at #8.

The album itself was released in May the same year. Its highest position was #2. In retrospect this album is regarded as one of their heaviest, possibly due to the influence of bassist Alan Lancaster, who is credited with co-writing six of the eight tracks.

The UK LP contained a gatefold insert with a picture of the band playing live on one side, backed with the lyrics on the other.

Quo is a monthly Spanish-language pop-science magazine that informs about science through thinking and entertainment. It contains articles pertaining to health, sex, ecology, technology, nutrition, psychology and human life. Its content has the capability to answer all the basic doubts a person might have about the world they live in. The magazine was created in Spain by the Hachette Filipacchi publisher. It was released in Spain in 1995. Its first director was Oscar Becerra and the art director was Pancho Guijarro. Aside from Becerra and Guijarro, Juan Caño, vice president editor of Hachette, was highly involved in the creative development of the publication. A few months later Grupo Zeta released CNR in Spain, a magazine whose similarities to Quo were extraordinary. Hearst Magazines bought Hachette Filipacchi's Spanish magazines in 2011.

In 1997 the Mexican edition was started, published by Editorial Televisa and directed by Gabriel Sama. The first art director for the Mexican edition was Julio Carrasco; Rodrigo Xoconostle and Soledad Aguirre were members of the original reading team. During its first years Quo had editions in the Czech Republic, Portugal and France aside from the Mexican version. The Mexican edition went from Editorial Televisa publisher to Grupo Expansión about five years after its first appearance in Mexico. The French edition was discontinued.

Quo was a short-lived rap group composed of Wade Robson (born 1982) and DeWayne Turrentine (born 1979) that was signed to Michael Jackson's Epic Records sub-label, MJJ Music during the explosion of kid rap duos. The duo came together in 1994 and released the single " Blowin' Up (Don't Stop the Music)", which became a minor hip hop hit, charting on both the Hot Rap Songs and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. On October 25, 1994, the duo's self-titled album was released but failed to make it to any of the Billboard charts. The following year, a second single, "Quo Funk", was released, which heavily sampled The Jacksons' " This Place Hotel", but it only made it to #2 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles. After "Quo Funk", the duo disbanded, with Robson becoming a successful choreographer, producer, and actor; Turrentine became a fashion model and married actress Reagan Gomez-Preston on November 10, 1999 and has two children with Gomez-Preston, a daughter named Scarlett Annette Turrentine (born May 13, 2007) and son named Tyger Attila Turrentine (born April 2, 2011).

Quo is the self-titled and only album released by hip hop group Quo, released on October 25, 1994, through Michael Jackson and Epic Records' MJJ Music. The album itself did not make it to any of the Billboard charts, but two singles did—" Blowin' Up (Don't Stop the Music)" made it to #25 on the Hot Rap Singles and #90 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, while "Quo Funk" made it #2 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles.

"Lost in the Night" was used as background music in the 1995 science fiction film Strange Days, while "Who Gets the Loot" was used for the soundtrack of the 1994 comedy film Monkey Trouble.
