List of Ottawa Redblacks starting quarterbacks

The following is an incomplete list of starting quarterbacks that have started a regular season or post-season game for the Ottawa Redblacks franchise of the Canadian Football League (CFL). They are listed in order of appearance during the regular season or post-season, since 2002. Prior years list number of starts from greatest to fewest.

As defined in the 2016 CFL's Facts, Figures, and Records and the 2023 CFL Guide & Record Book, for historical record purposes and by the current Ottawa Redblacks' request, the Ottawa Football Clubs are considered to be a single entity since 1876 with two periods of inactivity (1997–2001 and 2006–2013).[1][2] Consequently, this list includes figures from the Ottawa Football Club (1876–1898), Ottawa Rough Riders (1899–1919, 1931–1996), Ottawa Senators (1920–1930), Ottawa Renegades (2002–2005), and Ottawa Redblacks (2014–present).[2]

Henry Burris won the 104th Grey Cup as Ottawa's starting quarterback and holds franchise single-season records for passing yards and completions.
Damon Allen has the most single-season passing touchdowns in franchise history.
