Queen (クィーン, Kuiin, or 女王, Joou) is the name of several separate classes occurring in the Fire Emblem series. Each one occupies a position of royalty, and is exclusive to one character.
First, in Genealogy of the Holy War, the Queen class belongs to Hilda, a major antagonist in the storyline of Part 2. She uses fire, thunder, and wind magic, as well as staves, and appears in the tenth and eleventh chapters. Being an endgame boss, she has high stats with a variety of weapon choices.
Next, in The Sacred Stones, it is a class exclusive to Ismaire, the queen of Jehanna. The class is not playable, nor does it ever appear in any chapter; it only appears in cutscenes with a special sprite, and as such, the stats mean basically nothing. When Ismaire becomes playable in the Creature Campaign, she instead uses the Swordmaster class.
Lastly, in Radiant Dawn, the class is that of Elincia, crowned queen after the events of Path of Radiance, in which she used the Princess class. She wields swords and staves, and flies on a pegasus, which gives her the Canto skill; additionally, it is counted as a third-tier class, with the special skill Stun. Generally Elincia as a queen is a fairly strong fighter, but surely not excellent in combat.
The flexibility of the "Queen" name lends itself not to its role in gameplay but its role in storylines. Fire Emblem, being a fantasy series, often includes the conflicts of warring kingdoms, most of which are monarchies; as such, the existence of the Queen class is quite necessary for a connection between gameplay and story.

Trivia
In the coding for Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, there are two unused classes known as "Queen." One is actually the female Peer class, and it shares the same map sprite as Ismaire's NPC class from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, and it presumably would have belonged to Hellene or Eleanora. The other is a princess class (mistranslated "Queen" in-game) that most likely would have been used by Guinevere.
