The Quarai were a Tiguex Puebloan band of American Indians that originated in present-day New Mexico. Because of Apache hostilities they fled to El Paso in around 1675; later they moved to Isleta del Sur on the Rio Grande.

Quarai, also known as Quarai State Monument, is also the name of an historic site that was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark District. It was declared a National Historic Landmark District in 1962.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/66000498.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Quarai / Quarai State Monument] |32 KB|date=April 28, 1976 |author=Francine Weiss |publisher=National Park Service and PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/66000498.pdf "Accompanying 13 photos, from 1937, 1939, 1943, 1955, and undated"] |32 KB] It includes 13 structures including a pueblo and a mission.
