The Queenston Heights is a geographical feature of the Niagara Escarpment immediately above the village of Queenston, Ontario. Its geography is a promontory formed where the escarpment is divided by the Niagara River. The promontory forms a cliff face of approximately 100 m (approximately 300 ft).

Queenston Heights was the site of the War of 1812 Battle of Queenston Heights where Major-General Sir Isaac Brock was killed in action in the defence of Upper Canada (now Ontario).
