We define the quasi-gamma functions as the functions f:]0,[]0,[f: ]0,\infty[ \longrightarrow ]0,\infty[ such that f(1)=1f(1)=1, f(x+1)=xf(x)f(x+1)=xf(x) for every x>0x>0, and ff is quasi-convex. The main example of quasi-gamma function is the gamma function defined by Euler. We study some properties of the quasi-gamma functions and of the class Q{\emph Q} of these functions.
