The multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock model has been employed to compute the magnetic dipole hyperfine structure constant and the electric field gradient in the {sup 3}P{sub 1} state of neutral mercury. Combined with the experimental electric quadrupole hyperfine interaction constant, the computed electric field gradient yields the nuclear quadrupole moment Q=387{+-}6 mb for {sup 201}Hg. This value is in good agreement with older muonic, atomic, and solid-state values, but differs from the latest muonic result and from the recent {gamma} spectroscopy determination.
