Qwghlm is a fictional country in Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon and The Baroque Cycle. Qwghlm is a pair of islands off the northwestern coast of Britain that has become a victim of English imperialism. Qwghlm seems to be patterned on Wales and has geographic similarities to the Hebrides. It is a very poor country.

Inner Qwghlm is "hardly an island", being joined to Britain by a sandbar that comes and goes with the tide. By the time of World War II (as depicted in Cryptonomicon), this sandbar has been "beefed up with a causeway that carries a road and the railway line." Outer Qwghlm is about 20 miles off the coast.

Eliza, a main character from The Baroque Cycle, is a native of Qwghlm.
