List of English royal consorts

The English royal consorts listed here were the spouses of the reigning monarchs of the Kingdom of England, excluding joint rulers William III and Mary II who reigned together in the 17th century.

Most of the consorts were women, and enjoyed titles and honours pertaining to a queen consort; some few were men, whose titles were not consistent, depending upon the circumstances of their spouses' reigns. The Kingdom of England merged with the Kingdom of Scotland in 1707, to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. There have thus been no consorts of England since that date.

Athelstan, Edward the Martyr, Harold Harefoot(?), Harthacnut, William II, Edward V, Edward VI and Elizabeth I are all excluded from this list because they never married.
