Quérigut (French pronunciation: [keʁigyt]; Occitan: Quergut) is a commune in the Ariège department in southwestern France.

Donezan, of which Quérigut is the capital, was a dependency of the crown of Aragon. In 1208, king Pierre II of Aragon ceded the territory to the count of Foix who must pay him homage, in exchange for his neutrality in the succession problems of the Count of Urgel. This sovereignty then passed to the kings of Navarre, through the marriage of Gaston IV, Count of Foix, with Eléonore, heiress to the kingdom of Navarre, which was subsequently united with the kingdom of France by Henry IV, together with the lands of the houses of Foix and Albret.

In June 1944, a maquis resistance was formed in the Quérigut region by Marcel Taillandier, leader of the Secret army in Toulouse. Donezan will also be a fallback place for the Picaussel maquis after its attack in August 1944. Finally, numerous passages will be made to Spain from Quérigut.

Inhabitants are called Quérigutois.
