The Mercury Phoenix Trust is a charity organisation that fights HIV/AIDS worldwide.

After the death of Queen singer Freddie Mercury from AIDS-related causes in London in 1991, the remaining members of the band and Jim Beach, their manager, organised The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness, the proceeds of which were used to launch The Mercury Phoenix Trust. The organisation has been active ever since.

The trustees {{asof|2022|lc=y}} are: Brian May, Roger Taylor, Jim Beach, and Mercury's former fiance Mary Austin.[https://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/11/22/mary-austin-freddie-mercury/ Mary Austin – The Woman Freddie Mercury Loved and Left Most of his Fortune To] Tijana Radeska 22 November 2018 www.thevintagenews.com, Accessed 1 March 2021[https://www.looktothestars.org/news/19043-hard-rock-international-announces-partnership-with-mercury-phoenix-trust-to-honor-freddie-mercury Hard Rock International Announces Partnership With Mercury Phoenix Trust To Honor Freddie Mercury] 31 May 2019 www.looktothestars.org Accessed 1 March 2021{{Cite web |date=3 March 2022 |title=Mercury Phoenix Trust - List of Trustees |url=https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/-/charity-details/1013768/trustees |access-date=3 Mar 2022 |website=Charity Commission for England and Wales}}
