Queens of Noise is the second studio album by the American rock band the Runaways, released on January 7, 1977, through Mercury Records. It is the last album to involve Cherie Currie and Jackie Fox as members of the band.

It is fundamentally a hard rock album, although it also exhibits influences from glam rock. While the album features a range of different tempos, most of it consists of the "heavy" guitar-driven tracks that have come to be seen as the Runaways' signature sound, although it also features two noticeably softer songs that have sometimes been described as early power ballads.

While stylistically similar to the band's self-titled debut album The Runaways, Queens of Noise features greater emphases on volume and musical sophistication. The album has received generally positive reviews and has remained the band's best-selling record in the United States.
