"Queen of Chinatown" (also typed "Queen of China-Town") is a song by French singer Amanda Lear, released in 1977 by Ariola Records. It found chart success and remains one of Lear's biggest hits. The song's lyrics were written by Lear and the music was composed by Anthony Monn, her musical partner at that time. The song is an uptempo disco composition with characteristic oriental elements. It was released in late 1977 as the sixth and final single from Lear's debut album, I Am a Photograph (1977), though was only included on the album's re-issue, replacing "La Bagarre". The B-side of the single was "Alphabet", which had earlier received a separate A-side single release in the Netherlands. In Japan, "The Lady in Black" was released on the side B.
