Queen City Unity is a nonprofit organization based in Charlotte, North Carolina, operating as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) entity with a focus on promoting diversity, inclusion, equity, and equality in the city and its surrounding areas. It provides educational programs about diversity, community activities that link residents with service providers and local government, and charitable efforts and gatherings intended to reflect and celebrate the city's varied backgrounds.

Its activities include partnering with other local nonprofits to mobilize volunteers for initiatives that assist the homeless, foster children, and people living in poverty. In 2018 it launched the Equity Program and Charlotte FORWARD to equip participants with tools for sustainable, productive lives, and it hosts the Charlotte UNITE Festival, a multicultural event featuring local musicians, guest speakers, and foods from diverse cultures.
