Queens adalah borough terbesar menurut luas, terbesar kedua menurut jumlah penduduk, dan borough paling timur dari lima borough di New York City. Borough ini berdiri bersama dengan Queens County, sebuah pembagian administratif negara bagian New York di Amerika Serikat.

Terletak di daerah barat Long Island, Queens adalah tempat bagi dua dari tiga bandara terbesar di New York City, Bandar Udara Internasional JFK dan Bandar Udara LaGuardia. Tempat ini juga menjadi basis tim bisbol New York Mets, turnamen tenis US Open, Flushing Meadows Park, Kaufman Astoria Studios, Silvercup Studios, dan Aqueduct Racetrack.

Pada 2005, American Community Survei menghitung jumlah imigran mencakup 47.6% dari seluruh penduduk Queens.[1] Dengan populasi 2.3 juta jiwa, Queens adalah borough terpadat kedua di New York City (setelah Brooklyn) dan county terpadat kesepuluh di Amerika Serikat. Borough ini juga merupakan county terpadat keempat di negara ini (setelah Manhattan, Brooklyn dan the Bronx).[2] Jumlah 2.3 juta jiwa ini adalah populasi bersejarah tertinggi untuk boroughg ini.[3] Karena masing-masing borough merupakan sebuah kota independen, Brooklyn dan Queens menjadi kota terbesar ketiga dan keempat di Amerika Serikat secara berturut-turut setelah Los Angeles dan Chicago.

Queens didirikan tahun 1683 sebagai satu dari 12 county asli New York dan diberi nama sesuai permaisuri Catherine dari Braganza (1638-1705), putri Portugis yang menikahi Raja Charles II dari Inggris pada 1662.[6][7]

Borough ini dianggap sebagai salah satu borough pinggiran kota New York City. Permukiman di timur Queens memiliki suasana yang sama seperti pinggiran kota yang berbatasan dengannya di barat Nassau County. Di daerah barat laut, Queens menjadi rumah bagi berbagai permukiman kota dan beberapa distrik bisnis pusat. Long Island City, di pesisir Queens di seberang Manhattan, adalah tempat bagi Citicorp Building, pencakar langit tertinggi di New York City di luar Manhattan, dan bangunan tertinggi di Long Island.
