Queen is a stop on the Region of Waterloo's Ion rapid transit system.[1] It is located alongside Charles Street, just east of Queen Street, in Kitchener. It opened in 2019.

The station serves southbound trains only; the nearest northbound platform is at Frederick station, about 150 metres (490 ft) away up Charles and Benton streets.

The station's feature wall consists of ceramic tiles in a pattern of teal, gray, orange and blue.

The platform is connected with Charles Street's sidewalks at either end, and pedestrians passing through walk along the platform.
