The Quad-City Times is a daily morning newspaper based in Davenport, Iowa, and circulated throughout the Quad Cities metropolitan area, including Davenport, Bettendorf and Scott County in Iowa; and Moline, East Moline, Rock Island, and Rock Island County in Illinois.

The Quad-City Times grew from several predecessors, including the Democratic Banner and Blue Ribbon News.

[4] The Blue Ribbon News began publication in 1878; by 1886, it was known as the Davenport Daily Times.

By 1974, with circulation expanding throughout eastern Iowa and western Illinois, the newspaper was given its current name.

"[6] Current Quad-City Times columnists include Roy Booker, Linda Cook, Matt Coss, Jennifer DeWitt, Don Doxsie, Alma Gaul, and Barb Ickes.

In the past, special weekly sections were also published for the Clinton and upper and lower Rock Island County markets, but these have since been discontinued.
