The King's Daughter (French: Jeanne, fille du Roy) is a historical novel for young adult readers by Suzanne Martel, first published in 1974.

Along the way, Jeanne demonstrates her inherent ability for healing and medicines alongside her guardian Sister Bourgeoys, while Marie falls in love with a sailor named Jean.

During her husband's many absences, Jeanne is often sought out by her "neighbours" for her skill as a healer and on more than one occasion must bravely rescue her children from one peril or another.

Her love for her husband and pride as his wife wills her to even masquerade as a boy and travel far from home to save Simon's trapper's license.

[3] In 1980, it was translated into English by Margaret Rose and David Toby Homel then re-published under the name The King's Daughter by Groundwood Books.

[4] Jeanne, Fille du Roy originally started out as an entry to a historical fiction short story contest being sponsored by Châtelaine.

After winning the contest, Martel "found that the main character, Jeanne, remained vividly in her imagination, and decided to write more about her"[5] and have her story published.

In the note, the publisher reminds readers that the views expressed by Jeanne are not a true reflection of the First Nation people who were present during that time period, but simply the assumed reactions of a young, frightened woman being exposed to a new world.
