Queen Rocks is an album by the English rock band Queen released in 1997.

The album is mostly a few selected songs from Queen's heaviest side, however it also contained one new track, "No-One But You (Only The Good Die Young)", which is a gentle ballad. This song began life as a track for Brian May's solo album Another World (1998), the remaining members chose to record it as a bookend for their career as Queen. Thus far, it's the last original studio recording featuring Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon (and the first and only recording without Freddie Mercury).

The album is unique to the Queen catalogue, as it deliberately did not follow the standard "Hits" collection format. Some hits are present ("Hammer To Fall", "Seven Seas Of Rhye") and some tracks included were never released as singles anywhere ("Put Out The Fire" and "Sheer Heart Attack"). The album also contains a re-make of the pop rocker "I Can't Live With You", with a much heavier and louder guitar as well as more aggressive drumming.
