In enzymology, a hydrogen:quinone oxidoreductase (EC 1.12.5.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

H2 + quinone quinol

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are H2 and quinone, whereas its product is quinol. The quinone can be menaquinone, ubiquinone, or .

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on hydrogen as donor with a quinone or similar compound as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is hydrogen:quinone oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include hydrogen-ubiquinone oxidoreductase, hydrogen:menaquinone oxidoreductase, membrane-bound hydrogenase, and quinone-reactive Ni/Fe-hydrogenase.
