The Pirate Queen is a musical based on the life of the 16th century Irish chieftain, adventuress and pirate Grace O'Malley. The musical is written by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil, best known for their adaptation of Les Misérables. John Dempsey is the co-lyricist.

The Pirate Queen is scheduled to debut at Chicago's Cadillac Palace Theatre on October 3, 2006, and run through November 26, 2006. A Broadway run is planned to begin in 2007. Previews begin at the Hilton Theatre on March 2, with opening night on April 5. Tony Award winner Frank Galati will direct. Moya Doherty and John McColgan, creators of Riverdance, will produce.

The play was announced in Chicago on November 3, 2005. At that time, Playbill wrote that Colm Wilkinson was in talks about the project. However, when principal casting was announced on May 12, 2006, Wilkinson was not among the announced cast.

The Pirate Queen marks the first time Boublil and Schönberg have created a musical with American collaborators.
