4th Queens was a provincial electoral district of Prince Edward Island, Canada, which elected two members to the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island from 1873 to 1993.^[1]

The district comprised the southeastern portion of Queens County. It was abolished in 1996 when Prince Edward Island adopted single-member constituencies for the 1996 general election.

History

The district was one of the original constituencies created for the 1873 Prince Edward Island general election, the first provincial election after Prince Edward Island joined Confederation.^[2] Its first members included David Laird, who later served as the first Lieutenant-Governor of the Northwest Territories and Keewatin.^[1]

Like all Prince Edward Island districts of the period, 4th Queens initially elected two members with the undifferentiated title of member. From 1893, the district elected one Assemblyman and one Councillor simultaneously. John Walter Jones, who served as Premier of Prince Edward Island from 1943 to 1953, represented the district as Councillor from 1935 to 1955.^[2] Angus MacLean, who served as Premier from 1979 to 1981, held the Councillor seat from 1976 to 1982.^[2]

The district was abolished following the adoption of the Electoral Boundaries Act (Royal Assent 19 May 1994), effective at the 1996 general election, with its territory redistributed into Belfast-Murray River and Vernon River-Stratford.^[1]
