The Queen is a 1968 documentary film directed by Frank Simon and narrated by Jack Doroshow (Flawless Sabrina). It depicts the experiences of the participants and organization of the 1967 Miss All-America Camp Beauty Contest held at New York City's Town Hall.

The film was screened at the International Critics' Week section of the 1968 Cannes Film Festival; however, the festival was ultimately curtailed and ended due to ongoing civil unrest in France before any awards could be given out.

The Queen was first released in United States in June 1968, then in France(November 1968), Netherlands(1969), Denmark(1969), Finland(1969). In January 2013, it came back to USA and was shown at New York Film Forum. Later, the film was screened again during 2019 Melbourne International Film Festival(MIFF) in 4k restoration.
