Nemesis Quest
- For information about the Easter eggs, see Easter egg.

Nemesis Quests in League of Legends are a flavor feature that represent thematic rivalries or enmities between two champions—the "nemeses" (singular "nemesis")—in the game's canon lore. The champion who emerges victorious gains exclusive rewards, while both the winner and the defeated are granted a unique status buff depending on the quest's outcome.
Certain requirements need to be met before a Nemesis Quest begins. Granted rewards are meant to only have minor or moderate gameplay significance; they are not meant to be game-defining.[citation needed]
