"All Hail the Queen" is the debut album by alternative hip hop artist Queen Latifah, released in November 1989 (see 1989 in music) on Tommy Boy Records. The album was unusually successful for a hip hop record at the time, buoyed by the single "Wrath of My Madness". The feminist anthem "Ladies First" (with Monie Love) remains one of Latifah's signature songs.

"All Hail the Queen" peaked at #6 and #124 on Billboard's (North America) Top Hip Hop/R&B Albums and the Billboard 200 charts, respectively. In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source Magazine's 100 Best Rap Albums. It was also featured in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
