We introduce a notion of$q$-deformed rational numbers and$q$-deformed continued fractions. A$q$-deformed rational is encoded by a triangulation of a polygon and can be computed recursively. The recursive formula is analogous to the$q$-deformed Pascal identity for the Gaussian binomial coefficients, but the Pascal triangle is replaced by the Farey graph. The coefficients of the polynomials defining the$q$-rational count quiver subrepresentations of the maximal indecomposable representation of the graph dual to the triangulation. Several other properties, such as total positivity properties,$q$-deformation of the Farey graph, matrix presentations and$q$-continuants are given, as well as a relation to the Jones polynomial of rational knots.
