USS Queen City was a steamer acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War.

She was used by the Navy as a gunboat and assigned to patrol navigable waterways of the Confederacy to prevent the South from trading with other countries.

Queen City, a wooden, side wheel steamer, was purchased by the Union Navy at Cincinnati, Ohio, from Samuel Wiggins, on 13 February 1863.

On 13 October she departed Helena, Arkansas, and carried troops to Friars Point, Mississippi, where they landed and surrounded the town.

Off Clarendon, Arkansas, on 24 June, two regiments of Confederate cavalry supported by artillery attacked Queen City disabling the paddle wheel steamer and forcing her commander to surrender.
