21–27 Queen Square is a historic row of buildings in Bath, Somerset, England.[1] Described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of the finest Palladian compositions in England before 1730",[2][3] it is now a Grade I listed building. Completed in 1736, the building was given listed status in 1950.[4]

The building consists of seven symmetrical terraced houses, built in limestone ashlar, on the northern side of Queen Square.[4] John Wood, the Elder, died at number 24 in 1754.[1]
