Quimby is a road in northwest Portland, stretching from Northwest 10th Avenue to roughly Northwest 30th Avenue, broken occasionally. Quimby is interrupted by Wallace City Park, Chapman Elementary School, and Northwest Cornell Road, among others.

This street is the namesake for Mayor Quimby in The Simpsons. Simpsons creator Matt Groening grew up in Portland and named several characters after Portland streets.
