Quintus Caecilius Iucundus was the son of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus, a banker who lived in the Roman town of Pompeii around AD 14–62.

A relatively obscure historical figure, Quintus Caecilius Iucundus is most notable as a major character in the Cambridge Latin Course, set in the Ancient Roman Empire. In the series, he is primarily known as 'Quintus'; his father is known as 'Caecilius' and his mother as 'Metella'. On the death of Caecilius in the AD 79 eruption of Vesuvius, Quintus becomes the protagonist of books two and three, and returns briefly in book five.
