Queen's Mine is a village in Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe, about 55 kilometres north-east of Bulawayo along the Bulawayo to Eastnor road. The village grew up around the Queen's Mine, which was originally pegged on the site of ancient diggings in 1893 and is currently operated by Duration Gold. It derived its name from the nearby Ndebele queen's kraal. The village therefore links a modern mining operation with older workings and with the Ndebele royal landscape that surrounded the Bulawayo area in the nineteenth century.
