Queen of the South Football Club is a professional football club, based in Dumfries, which currently plays in the Scottish Football League.

Also known as the Doonhamers, Queen of the South were founded in 1919 by an amalgamation of three of the town's clubs - Dumfries F.C., Maxwelltown Volunteers F.C. and (works side) Arrol-Johnston. They have always played at Palmerston Park. They are cited as the only league club in the United Kingdom to be mentioned in the Bible (under Luke 11:31 "The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them"). The queen of the south is considered to be the Queen of Sheba. Queen of the South's name derives from a much earlier team known as Queen of the South Wanderers, that had become defunct.

The club have won few honours, despite their continued presence in the Scottish game since formation, namely the 1950/51 B Division, and in 2002 under John Connolly they won the Second Division title and the Challenge Cup.

They are currently playing in Scottish League Division One, and are managed by Gordon Chisholm.
