The quart (symbol: qt) is a unit of volume equal to a quarter of a gallon. Three kinds of quarts are currently used: the liquid quart and dry quart of the US customary system and the of the British imperial system. All are roughly equal to one liter.

Historically, the size of a quart has varied with the different values of gallons over time, and in the case of the dry quart, in reference to different commodities.
