Abstract: We consider rigid Calabi--Yau threefolds defined over $QQ$ and the question of whether they admit quadratic twists. We give a precise geometric definition of the notion of a quadratic twists in this setting. Every rigid Calabi--Yau threefold over $QQ$ is modular so there is attached to it a certain newform of weight 4 on some $Gamm{a}_0(N)$. We show that quadratic twisting of a threefold corresponds to twisting the attached newform by quadratic characters and illustrate with a number of obvious and not so obvious examples. The question is motivated by the deeper question of which newforms of weight 4 on some $Gamm{a}_0(N)$ and integral Fourier coefficients arise from rigid Calabi--Yau threefolds defined over $QQ$.
