Queen's University at Kingston,[2][11][12] commonly known as Queen's University or simply Queen's, is a public research university in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Queen's holds more than 1,400 hectares (3,500 acres) of land throughout Ontario and owns Herstmonceux Castle in East Sussex, England.[8] Queen's is organized into eight faculties and schools.

The Church of Scotland established Queen's College in October 1841 via a royal charter from Queen Victoria. The first classes, intended to prepare students for the ministry, were held 7 March 1842, with 13 students and two professors.[13] In 1869, Queen's was the first Canadian university west of the Maritime provinces to admit women.[2] In 1883, a women's college for medical education affiliated with Queen's University was established after male staff and students reacted with hostility to the admission of women to the university's medical classes.[14][15] In 1912, Queen's ended its affiliation with the Presbyterian Church,[11] and adopted its present name.[16][2] During the mid-20th century, the university established several faculties and schools, and expanded its campus with the construction of new facilities.

Queen's is a co-educational university with more than 33,842 students and over 131,000 alumni living worldwide.[6][17] Notable alumni include government officials, academics, business leaders and 57 Rhodes Scholars.[18] As of 2022, five Nobel Laureates and one Turing Award winner have been affiliated with the university.
