The Queens Night Market, also known as the Queens International Night Market, is a night market in Queens in New York City, New York. The event launched in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in April 2015, with 40 vendors. Since then, it operates on Saturday nights from April through October, except for a break when the US Open tennis tournament is held within the park. As of 2023, the event averages around 20,000 visitors on Saturday nights.

The market was named the #9 best restaurant in New York City by The New York Times in 2023.

The market hosts independent vendors each night, selling food, art, and merchandise; as of 2019, it has featured food from over 80 countries. When it launched in 2015, it introduced a $5 price cap on all food available for sale at the event. The price cap has since been raised to $6.

A cookbook with vendor stories and recipes, The World Eats Here: Amazing Food and the Inspiring People Who Make It at New York's Queens Night Market by John Wang and Storm Garner, was published in 2020.

The event has ATMs, sells beer and wine, and hosts live entertainment each Saturday night. To date, the event has hosted approximately 200 free live performances.

The event was paused during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City in 2020. It reopened with ticketed entry under public health regulations in June 2021 and resumed regular operations in July 2021.
