'''Queen''' (Japanese: {{hl|クィーン|Kwīn}}, {{hl|女王|Joō}} ''Queen'') is the name of several separate classes appearing in the {{FES}}. Each one occupies a position of royalty, and few units ever use this class.

In {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}}, the Queen class is a very rare class exclusively used by two units; [[Hilda (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Hilda]], Queen of Friege, and Indra, the arena champion of [[Light and Dark|Chapter 10]]. The class uses [[Fire (magic)|fire]], [[Thunder (magic)|thunder]], and [[Wind (magic)|wind]] magic, as well as [[Staff|staves]].

In {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, it is a class exclusive to [[Ismaire]] as an NPC, the queen of [[Jehanna]]. The class is not playable and is only present for a single turn; as such, the stats the class has aren’t very relevant, being nearly identical to that of a [[civilian]]; her actual stats and weapon level come from her personal bases and mainly serve to foreshadow her identity and statline as a former Swordmaster and [[Joshua]]'s mother. When Ismaire becomes playable in the [[Creature Campaign]], she instead uses the [[Swordmaster]] class, though with the exact same personal stats as a Queen; the stat difference comes from the difference in class base stats. Likewise, while Ismaire has an A in [[sword]]s as a Queen, this is fueled solely by her personal stats as the Queen class has no weapon ranks; as an NPC, Ismaire has an empty inventory so her ability to use swords as a Queen is never used in combat in legitimate gameplay.
In {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, it is a class exclusive to [[Ismaire]] as an NPC, the queen of [[Jehanna]], in [[Queen of White Dunes|Chapter 14 of Eirika's route]]. It is only present for a single turn, as Ismaire is taken away at the start of the first enemy phase, and she uses the [[Swordmaster]] class in the [[Creature Campaign]].


The latest appearance of the class is in {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, as the personal class of [[Elincia]], crowned queen after the events of {{title|Path of Radiance}}, in which she used the [[Princess Crimea]] class. She wields swords and staves, and flies on a pegasus, which gives her the [[Canto]] skill; additionally, it is counted as a third-tier class, with the special skill [[Stun]]. Generally Elincia as a queen is a fairly strong fighter, but surely not excellent in combat.

The flexibility of the "Queen" name lends itself not to its role in gameplay but its role in storylines. ''Fire Emblem'', being a fantasy series, often includes the conflicts of warring kingdoms, most of which are monarchies; as such, the existence of the Queen class is often necessary for narrative scenes and battle.
