Queen Elizabeth School (Chinese: 伊利沙伯中學), or QES and QE (伊中 or 伊利沙伯) for short, is the first EMI (Anglo-Chinese) co-education secondary school founded by the Government of Hong Kong. It is located on a mound at the boundary of Sai Yee Street and Prince Edward Road West in Mong Kok, Kowloon and adjacent to Grand Century Place, CCC Heep Woh Primary School (中華基督教會協和小學) and HK Weaving Mills Association Primary School (香港布廠商會公學).

The school was conceived in 1953 when Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom was crowned. Later it was ran in September 1954 but operated as an after school on the premises in King's College, until October 1955 when it moved to the present location in Mong Kok.

The QES school camp in Cham Chuk Wan, Sai Kung District, the New Territories was opened in 1962. With the handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997, the original school badge with a crown was changed to a new one with the logo of the Education Department. Later, the Education Department was replaced by the Education and Manpower Bureau (EMB) (now Education Bureau, EdB), and the school badge was altered again.

The school's new annexe was opened in September 2004.
