The Son of Seven Mothers or The Son of Seven Queens is an Indian folktale, first published in the late 19th century by author Flora Annie Steel. In the tale, a king with many wives marries a demoness who tricks him into banishing his previous wives and cutting out their eyes; they survive and one of the queens gives birth to a son that returns to his father's kingdom, kills the demoness and restores the eyes of the fallen queens.
The tale is classified in the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index as ATU 462, "The Outcast Queens and the Ogress Queen". Variants are registered mostly from India, West Asia, and North Africa, with some tales from Hispanic tradition.
