Queens Arcade ( _cy. Arcêd y Frenhines) is a shopping centre in Cardiff, opened 28 April 1994, that connects with St. David's Centre. The main entrance is located on Queen Street, not far from Cardiff Castle, and the other entrance faces the Old Library in Working Street.

The arcade has two levels, and is unusual in that the levels are sloped, so that despite its two entrances being on the same level, the upper floor at one entrance is the ground floor at the other. The Arcade has a footfall of over 13,000,000 per annum.

A remodelling exercise has recently been completed, involving the creation of another 3 shop units and the change to a single level entrance onto Queen Street (this to free up space for the 3 new units). There is also an entrance leading onto The Hayes. As of June 2008, the Arcades is in the middle of an internal revamp, including new flooring, wall decoration, ceilings, lighting and furniture.

Prior to the remodel, it was used for location shooting in the 2005 "Doctor Who" story "Rose", starring Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper, which was set in London.
