In this paper we investigate the gravitational frequency-shift and deflection of light in the Schwarzschild black hole space-time surrounded by quintessence. With the analytical and numerical methods, we find that the gravitational frequency-shift of light in the Schwarzschild black hole space-time surrounded by the quintessence increases as the values of the normalization factor c increases, but the gravitational frequency-shift of light decreases with the quintessential state parameter ωq increasing. We also calculate the deflection of light by quintessence and find that the deflection rate decreases as the values of the quintessential parameters c and ωq increase.
