Queens Place is an approved residential complex of twin skyscrapers, to be built on 350 Queen Street in Melbourne, Victoria. Should the dual skyscrapers be built, they will be amongst the tallest buildings in Melbourne, and the tallest twin skyscrapers in Australia.

The 350 Queen Street site, which hosts KTS House –a 21 story office building– was purchased by Chinese developers 3L Alliance in October 2014, for $135 million. In 2015, 3L Alliance submitted plans through Fender Katsalidis Architects and Cox Architecture for two residential skyscrapers reaching heights of 247 metres (810 feet) and 249 metres (817 feet), respectively, and to comprise 1,700 apartments across 79 levels. These plans would retain the KTS House commercial skyscraper, which would sit in between the twin skyscrapers.

In October 2015, the project received planning approval by the City of Melbourne, before being approved by the Minister for Planning Richard Wynne in March 2016.
