"Kings and Queens" is Killing Joke's third single from their fifth studio album, Night Time.

It was originally released by E.G. Records on 21 March 1985 as a 7" and 12" single in the UK, and a 7" single by Polydor in the Netherlands.

Although "Kings and Queens" was overshadowed by the success of Killing Joke's previous single, "Love Like Blood", it did reach number 58 in the UK Singles Chart.

The B-side to the single was a dub remix of the song "Multitudes" from Night Time, titled "The Madding Crowd (Remixed by Killing Joke)".

The 12" single featured the dub mix "Kings and Queens (A Right Royal Mix)" as its A-side, with the original included on the B-side.
