"My Fairy King" is a song by the British rock band Queen. Written and sung by Freddie Mercury, it is the fourth song on their 1973 debut album,  Queen.

Composition
"My Fairy King" is a prog-inflected glam rock number, approximately four minutes, 8 seconds in length. Lead vocals are sung by Freddie Mercury, with backing vocals from Roger Taylor during the chorus. The inspiration for "My Fairy King" comes from Robert Browning's poem The Pied Piper.

"My Fairy King" was the first Queen song to feature Mercury's piano skills. Guitarist Brian May said of the song's recording: "This was the first time we'd really seen Freddie working at his full capacity. He's virtually a self-taught pianist, and he was making vast strides at the time, although we didn't have a piano on stage at that point because it would have been impossible to fix up. So in the studio was the first chance Freddie had to do his piano things and we actually got that sound of the piano and the guitar working for the first time which was very exciting. "My Fairy King" was the first of these sort of epics where there were lots voice overdubs and harmonies. Freddie got into this, and that led to "The March of the Black Queen" on the second album and then "Bohemian Rhapsody" later on."

This was the first track that Queen played during their debut radio appearance, a 1973 John Peel session for BBC Radio 1.

Other album appearances
The song also appears on two Queen compilation albums: Deep Cuts, Volume 1 (1973–1976) (2011) and On Air  (2016).

Queen comments on the song
"My Fairy King was a number Freddie wrote which we only wrote when we were in the studio and it was built up in the studio. Whereas, you know as I said, there’s other numbers where essentially live songs, basically just the track and then just a few backing vocals and guitar solos over the top and that was it."

"Freddie was always fond of throwing little quotes in... Fairy Fellers Masterstroke is another example, as is the beginning of A Hard Life."

- Brian May, 2003
