Indian Queens (Cornish: Krows Karworgi) is a village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is situated west of Goss Moor and north of Fraddon approximately ten miles (16 km) west-southwest of Bodmin.
The A30 trunk road ran through the village until the construction of a bypass in the 1990s.
The village is the site of a Victorian era preaching pit constructed out of a disused quarry: the pit comprises large stepped rings and a preaching area the size and shape of half a bandstand.

It might call up a new age, calling to mind
The queens that were imagined long ago,
Is but half yours....””
