King & Queen, released in 1967 by Stax Records, is a duets album by Otis Redding and Carla Thomas, two of the label's most successful artists. The LP was Redding's sixth album, and Thomas' fourth.

Included on King & Queen are the significant crossover hits "Tramp" (R&B #2; US #26) and "Knock on Wood" (R&B #8; US #30). Following the December 1967 death of Redding, the single "Lovey Dovey" (R&B #21; US #60) was also released. The original LP's liner notes were written by Tennessee senator Howard H. Baker, Jr.
