Queen Louise Land (; ) is a vast mountainous region located west of Dove Bay, King Frederick VIII Land, northeastern Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park zone.

The highest point of Queen Louise Land is Gefiontinde, with a height of , the highest of the Gefiontinder group of peaks located at .

Geologically Queen Louise Land is made up of orthogneiss overlain by sedimentary rocks.

History
This remote area was named Dronning Louises Land after Queen Louise of Denmark (1851–1926), wife of King Frederick VIII of Denmark, by the ill-fated 1906–08 Denmark Expedition —the expedition that aimed to map one of the last unknown parts of Greenland. Danish Arctic explorer Alf Trolle claimed that this area had been originally named as Den Store Nanuták —The Big Nunatak.

Queen Louise Land was subsequently visited by the 1912–13 Danish Expedition to Queen Louise Land led by J.P. Koch, as well as the 1952–54 British North Greenland Expedition led by Commander James Simpson.

Geography
Surrounded by ice masses, Queen Louise Land is clearly delimited. It is an extensive area made up of several very large and numerous small nunataks (summits or ridges of mountains that protrude from the ice). Its western boundary is the Greenland ice sheet and its eastern limits are the massive Storstrommen and L. Bistrup Brae glaciers. Kap Aage Bertelsen is a small headland at the confluence of the large Storstrømmen and L. Bistrup Bræ glaciers in the east. Dryasdal is a valley seasonally covered with Dryas octopetala flowers. The area of Queen Louise Land is uninhabited.

The main geographic divisions or parts of Queen Louise Land from north to south are:
Ymer Nunatak, a large nunatak located at the northern end of Queen Louise Land, south of the Alabama Nunatak. The Britannia Glacier is between Ymer Nunatak and the northern end of main Queen Louise Land.
Central Queen Louise Land, the main part or Queen Louise Land proper. 
Carlsbergfondet Land, the southwestern part of Queen Louise Land, between Borgjøkel and A.B. Drachmann Glacier.
Eventyrfjelde, the southernmost part of Queen Louise Land, south of A.B. Drachmann Glacier.
