Abstract
We find all quadratic post-critically finite (PCF) rational functions defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, up to conjugation by elements of $\mathop{\rm PGL}_2(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})$. We describe an algorithm to search for possibly PCF functions. Using the algorithm, we eliminate all but 12 rational functions, all of which are verified to be PCF. We also give a complete description of all possible rational preperiodic structures for quadratic PCF functions defined over $\mathbb{Q}$.
