QNX is a commercial Unix-like real-time operating system, aimed at the embedded systems market. QNX was one of the first commercially successful microkernel operating systems; as of 2020, it is used in a variety of devices including mobile phones. The product was developed in the early 1980s by Canadian company Quantum Software Systems renamed QNX Software Systems; the company was acquired by BlackBerry Limited in 2010. As a microkernel-based OS, QNX is based on the idea of running most of the operating system kernel in the form of a number of small tasks, named Resource Managers; this differs from the more traditional monolithic kernel, in which the operating system kernel is one large program composed of a huge number of parts, with special abilities. In the case of QNX, the use of a microkernel allows users to turn off any functions they do not need without having to change the OS. Instead, such services will not run; the system is quite small, with earlier versions fitting on one 1.44 MB floppy disk.

QNX Neutrino has been ported to a number of platforms and now runs on any modern central processing unit family, used in the embedded market. This includes the PowerPC, x86, MIPS, SH-4, the interrelated of ARM, StrongARM, XScale. QNX offers a license for academic users; the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet computer designed by BlackBerry uses a version of QNX as the primary operating system. Devices from BlackBerry running the BlackBerry 10 operating system are based on QNX. QNX is used in car infotainment systems with many major car makers offering variants that include an embedded QNX architecture, it is supported by popular SSL/TLS libraries such as wolfSSL. Gordon Bell and Dan Dodge, both students at the University of Waterloo in 1980, took a course in real-time operating systems, in which the students constructed a basic real-time microkernel and user programs. Both were convinced there was a commercial need for such a system, moved to the high-tech planned community Kanata, Ontario, to start Quantum Software Systems that year.

In 1982, the first version of QUNIX was released for the Intel 8088 CPU. In 1984, Quantum Software Systems renamed QUNIX to QNX in an effort to avoid any trademark infringement challenges. One of the first widespread uses of the QNX real-time OS was in the nonembedded world when it was selected as the operating system for the Ontario education system's own computer design, the Unisys ICON. Over the years QNX was used for larger projects, as its 44k kernel was too large to fit inside the one-chip computers of the era; the system garnered a reputation for reliability and became used in running machinery in many industrial applications. In the late-1980s, Quantum realized that the market was moving towards the Portable Operating System Interface model and decided to rewrite the kernel to be much more compatible at a low level; the result was QNX 4. During this time Patrick Hayden, while working as an intern, along with Robin Burgener, developed a new windowing system; this patented concept was developed into the embeddable graphical user interface named the QNX Photon microGUI.

QNX provided a version of the X Window System. Toward the end of the 1990s, the company began work on a new version of QNX, designed from the ground up to be symmetric multiprocessing capable, to support all current POSIX application programming interfaces and any new POSIX APIs that could be anticipated while still retaining the microkernel architecture; this resulted in QNX Neutrino, released in 2001. Along with the Neutrino kernel, QNX Software Systems became a founding member of the Eclipse consortium; the company released a suite of Eclipse plug-ins packaged with the Eclipse workbench in 2002, named QNX Momentics Tool Suite. In 2004, the company announced. Before this acquisition, QNX software was widely used in the automotive industry for telematics systems. Since the purchase by Harman, QNX software has been designed into over 200 different automobile makes and models, in telematics systems and in infotainment and navigation units; the QNX CAR Application Platform was running in over 20 million vehicles as of mid-2011.

The company has since released several middleware products including the QNX Aviage Multimedia Suite, the QNX Aviage Acoustic Processing Suite and the QNX HMI Suite. The microkernels of Cisco Systems' IOS-XR and IOS Software Modularity are based upon QNX. In September 2007, QNX Software Systems announced the availability of some of its source code. On April 9, 2010, Research In Motion announced they would acquire QNX Software Systems from Harman International Industries. On the same day, QNX source code access was restricted from hobbyists. In September 2010, the company announced a tablet computer, the BlackBerry PlayBook, a new operating system BlackBerry Tablet OS based on QNX to run on the tablet. On October 18, 2011, Research In Motion announced "BBX", renamed to BlackBerry 10, in December 2011. Blackberry 10 devices build upon the BlackBerry PlayBook QNX based operating system for touch devices, but adapt the user interface for smartphones using the Qt based Cascades Native User-Interface framework.

At the Geneva Motor Show, Apple demonstrated CarPlay which provides an iOS-like user interface to head units in compatible vehicles. Once configured by the automaker, QNX can be programmed to hand off its display and some functions to an Apple CarPlay device. On December 11, 2014, Ford Motor Company stated the company would be
