The goal of this article is to introduce and study the characterstics of -quasi--Einstein metric on contact Riemannian manifolds. First, we prove that if a Sasakian manifold admits a gradient -quasi--Einstein metric, then is -Einstein and is constant. Next, we show that in a Sasakian manifold if represents an -quasi--Einstein metric with a conformal vector field , then is Killing and is -Einstein. Finally, we prove that if a non-Sasakian -contact manifold admits a gradient -quasi--Einstein metric, then it is -contact metric manifold or a -Einstein.
