Indian Queens (Cornish: Myghternes Eyndek) is a village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.[1] The village, which is on the A30 trunk road, is in the civil parish of St Enoder. It is situated west of Goss Moor and north of Fraddon, approximately 10 mi (16 km) west-southwest of Bodmin.[2] Black Cross is a nearby hamlet.

The village name is derived from an eponymously named coaching inn. The village is the site of a Victorian era preaching pit constructed out of a disused quarry: the pit comprises large stepped rings and a preaching area the size and shape of half a bandstand.
