All algebras are assumed to be finite dimensional and not necessarily associative. An involution of an algebra is an algebra automorphism of order two. A quasi-division algebra is any algebra in which the non-zero elements form a quasi-group under multiplication. The purpose of this short paper is to determine the structure of all involutions of quasi-division algebras and to give an application of this result.
