Queen Rock Montreal is a live album by English band Queen. It was released in 2007 as a double CD / triple vinyl on October 28 in Australia, October 29 in Europe, and October 30 in the US.

It was recorded in Montreal, Quebec, Canada at the Montreal Forum on November 24 and November 25, 1981, to the date ten years before lead singer Freddie Mercury died.

This marks the first official release of the film soundtrack to the concert film We Will Rock You on an audio-only format.

Unlike the original video release of We Will Rock You, which has been re-released as Queen Rock Montreal, the album and CD features the full show fully remixed.

During Love of My Life, when the audience is supposed to sing along, Freddie even stopped singing and famously remarked "You don't know it, hem..." as the band was used to audiences in Europe and South America singing.
