'''MPQ''' is the name of a file extension and type of proprietary data file used by ''[[World of Warcraft]]''; although it is used in various other games by [[Blizzard Entertainment]].
'''MPQ''', or  "'''M'''o'''P'''a'''Q'''" supposedly derived from Mike O'Brien Pack, is a proprietary data archive file format developed by Blizzard Entertainment and used in World of Warcraft.
 
For the WoW Warlords of Draenor expansion, MPQ was replaced by the newer [[CASC]] archive format.
