A quasi-cyclic LDPC coding and decoding method and apparatus, and an LDPC coder and decoder. The method includes: determining from a mother basis matrix set a basis matrix used for low density parity check (LDPC) coding (S202), wherein the basis matrix used for LDPC coding includes a first-type element and a second-type element, the first-type element corresponds to an all-zero square matrix, the second-type element corresponds to a matrix obtained by means of a cyclic shift of a unit matrix according to a value of the second-type element, and dimensions of the all-zero square matrix and the unit matrix are equal; and performing LDPC coding on an information sequence to be coded according to the basis matrix used for LDPC coding, and/or performing LDPC decoding on a data sequence to be decoded according to the basis matrix used for LDPC coding (S204).
