Soldiers of the Queen is a song written and composed by Leslie Stuart. The song is often sung and published as "Soldiers of the King" depending on the reigning monarch at the time. The tune was originally composed by Stuart as a march celebrating the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal. The lyrics were added at a later date and the title changed. The song was then interpolated in the musical comedy An Artist's Model (1895).

The song served as the regimental (quick) march of the Queen's Regiment from 1966 to 1992.^[1] It is also the regimental march of the Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians),^[2] the second most senior of Canada's Cavalry Regiments.

It was used as the theme to the film, Breaker Morant.^[3]
