Seven Queensland is an Australian television station, licensed to, and serving the regional areas of Queensland. The station is owned and operated by the Seven Network from studios located in Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast, using the callsign STQ, which stands for Sunshine Television, Queensland.

The station began as two different operators:
WBQ later changed its callsign to SEQ (as in South East Queensland), and its on-air name to "Sunshine Television". MVQ also changed its on air name to "Tropical Television".
When Queensland was aggregated at the end of 1990, SEQ-8 and MVQ-6 operationally merged to become The Sunshine Television Network, and become the regional Queensland affiliate of the Seven Network. All Network revenue is sourced through advertising revenue,sold by The Seven Network's subsidiary Prime Media Group (Seven Affiliate Sales)
In 1995, Sunshine Television was purchased by Seven, and became Seven Queensland, taking on a generic Seven Network look. Seven Queensland won the annual audience ratings for the first time in 1998.
Seven Local News bulletins are broadcast each weeknight in Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Central Queensland, Wide Bay, and the Sunshine Coast. They are followed by Seven News Brisbane, in place of Today Tonight.
The local news for all regions are recorded and formatted from the Maroochydore studios, with the Sunshine Coast being the only region to receive its news broadcast live. News editing is undertaken by local bureaus in several markets, and sent to the main Maroochydore studios for broadcast.
Between 2004 and 2005, the Fraser Coast office/news bureau for production and news staff were relocated to a smaller office in Hervey Bay.
On 5 March 2007, Seven Local News bulletins commenced production and broadcasts in a widescreen standard-definition digital format. Seven Local News was the first local news bulletin in regional Queensland to convert to widescreen.
On 22 November 2010, Seven Local News launched a sixth bulletin into the Rockhampton and Central Queensland region.
Seven Local News is directed by Rex Clark and Sally Young with bulletins presented by Rob Brough. Joanne Desmond co-anchors the Cairns, Townsville and Rockhampton bulletins. Nathan Spurling presents sport with Livio Regano presenting the local weather.
