Pumpkin Queen is a title awarded at many North American beauty contests held in autumn.
The contests to choose a pumpkin queen typically occur during festivals.
At some festivals, a variety of contestants, from babies to boys, compete for other pumpkin titles.
In fiction, the title may also refer to the ruler of an autumnal fantasy world.
