Queen's was a federal electoral district in Prince Edward Island, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1904 to 1968.

History

This riding was created in 1903 from parts of East Prince, East Queen's and West Queen's ridings.

It was abolished in 1966 when it was redistributed into Cardigan, Hillsborough and Malpeque ridings, to take effect at the time of the next election (which took place in 1968). It consisted of the County of Queen's and elected two members. In 1914, it was redefined to elect only one member unless the British North America Act, 1867, were amended to entitle the province of Prince Edward Island to four members. When that happened, before the next election, Queen's again was entitled to elect two members. It continued to have two members until it was abolished in 1966. Queen's and the riding of Halifax were the last two multi-member ridings used in Canadian elections.Parliamentary Guide 2011, p. 432-433Norman Ward "Voting in Two-member Constituencies", in Voting in Canada (edited by John C. Courtney), 1967

It elected its MPs through Block Voting.
