Consorts of Montenegro were women married to the Montenegrin monarchs during their reigns. All monarchs of Montenegro were male with the title of King of Montenegro and before that Prince of Montenegro, and even earlier Prince-Bishop of Montenegro; while all Montenegrin consorts were women with the title of Queen of Montenegro and style Majesty and before that title Princess of Montenegro and style Royal Highness. There were no wives of the Prince-Bishops as the Prince-Bishops could not marry by law.
