CILQ is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 107.1 FM in Toronto, Ontario. The station broadcasts Classic Rock as Q107.

Q107 signed on the air on May 22, 1977. The first song played on the station was "Hard Rock Town" by Murray McLauchlan.

Notable personalities associated with the station have included John Derringer, Andy Frost and Kim Mitchell. In September 1997, Q107 (along with CHOM in Montreal) became the first Canadian radio stations to air The Howard Stern Show, syndicated from New York City. Stern was taken off Q107 in mid 2001.

The station is owned by Corus Entertainment.

Each weekend there is a theme (such as a band or a top 107 hits as voted by the listeners). They play songs that fall within the theme at least once each hour. This begins each weekend at 3:00 p.m. EST on Friday night and goes through to Sunday at 9:00 p.m. EST.

Each sunday from 9am to 9pm Q107 airs the popular "Psychedelic Psunday," in which the DJs play classic rock songs from the psychedelic era of 1965-1975

On August 10, 2005, the station sparked controversy when it aired a recording of a Rolling Stones concert from 2002. The Stones were appearing in concert in Toronto the same evening, and many listeners had interpreted advance promotion for the broadcast as implying that CILQ would in fact be airing live from that evening's concert.
