The female version of The Don. Despite organized crime being an expectedly misogynistic world in which traditional gender roles are often mercilessly enforced, some works of fiction are showcasing women as the leaders of crime syndicates in their own right.
Expect her leadership to be challenged by men who believe women should Stay in the Kitchen, which is fairly common due to the violence inherent to this line of work.
Since she isn't supposed to elicit endearment nor pity but fear and deference, a woman in this position is almost always more cunning, violent, demanding and cutthroat than her male counterparts to justify and assert her authority, which is precarious by definition. Likewise, she will often be unapologetically callous towards other women as well, especially towards Housewives and prostitutes who she often sees as weak and pathetic or as competitors if they're younger and/or prettier than her (though she's not above employing pretty women as spies). Also expect her to be called "Ma" or "Mama" when she grows older and/or her children are part of the gang.
Depending on how dark and realistic the show is intended to be, she will either be Friend to All Children in order to show a more humane side of her or she will simply show no mercy towards kids, sometimes not even her own. Usually, this character avoids conspicuous promiscuity since she must always be on her guard and sex puts her in a vulnerable position. Thus, she's either a skilled seductress who only uses sex as a weapon to control whomever she sleeps with or a pragmatic Black Widow who kills her lovers once she doesn't need them anymore. Or a complete asexual in some cases.
May also be a Dragon Lady when the setting involves the Yakuza or The Triads and the Tongs. She may also be a woman formerly affiliated with the organization before taking over, such as the Lady Macbeth, Dark Mistress, Daddy's Little Villain or Mafia Princess — in those cases, there may be overlap with Never a Self-Made Woman. In thrillers it may overlap with the Sleazy Politician or Corrupt Corporate Executive.
In many ways, this trope is the Evil Counterpart of the Iron Lady, another female authority figure who must show toughness to succeed but whose goals are usually benevolent. Goes hand in hand with Girls Behind Bars, a setting this character almost always experiences at one point or another if she gets convicted, in which case expect her to become the prison Alpha Bitch before long.
Not to be confused with the Gayngster, which usually is a male homosexual gangster (lesbian gangsters are rarer).
This trope is actually Truth in Television but a very sporadic one for the reasons cited above.

Queen of the South, being an adaptation of the above-mentioned La Reina del Sur, details the rise of Teresa Mendoza from a mere money-changer to the "queenpin" of cocaine. The series also features two other mafia queens - Camilia Vargas, Teresa's nemesis for the first three seasons, and Oksana Volkova, one of Teresa's allies.

Worm: Skitter is referred to a few times as a kingpin and once explicitly as a queenpin after she becomes leader of the gang of villans who have claimed the city of Brockton Bay as their territory and made clear that all criminal ventures and superpowered actions happen with their okay or not at all. More often she is simply referred to with a more accurate term, warlord, given she did so openly, to the point that local schools have posters of the various territories of her gang so students know who is controlling the area.

Like a Dragon:
Yakuza 2: Yayoi Dojima took over as Interim Chairman of the Dojima family between her husband's death and her son's ascension to the office. The fact that she, as a woman and not a sworn member of the family, took over would make her remarkable enough, but she also manages to keep the unruly family together by sheer force of personality. Even old street monsters like Majima and Kashiwagi show her nothing but deference and respect.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon has Seong-Hui, head of the "Geomijul" and one of the pillars of the underworld of Ijincho. Unlike Yayoi, she's the official head and not an acting boss.

Tales from the Borderlands has Vallory, also known as the Queenpin and the Godmother of Crime. She's the leader of a local crime gang on Pandora (though the exact difference between this and a Bandit boss is never stated), has her reasons for searching for the Gortys project, and is also August's mother. She's Large and in Charge and quite scary when you cross her, but isn't unreasonable and negotiates a rather favorable deal for Fiona and Rhys to continue on their search for the Vault of the Traveler. She even hires Mordecai and Brick to capture Athena, made easier because they had their own reasons for capturing her.

Luke Cage (2016): Mariah Dillard becomes leader of the Stokes crime family's gun-running business after killing her cousin Cottonmouth. In season 2, she fully embraces her role as a crime boss by ditching the Dillard surname after Bushmaster insults her by regularly using her maiden name.
When Mariah and Cottonmouth were kids, their grandmother "Mama" Mabel Stokes ran the family with her husband Buggy and his brother Pete. Buggy was killed in the course of assassinating his business partner Quincy McIver (Bushmaster's father) in exchange for the Italians leaving the Stokes alone, while Pete was later killed by Cottonmouth on Mama Mabel's orders for regularly molesting Mariah and siring Tilda in the process. It's clear from the way Shades talks about her that Mabel was the main brains of the organization after Buggy died.
Also seen in season 2 is Rosalie Carbone, leader of the Carbone crime family. Her father was the mob boss who tried to drive the Stokes out of Harlem in the 1970s, and Luke has to negotiate a truce between her, the Puerto Ricans and the Koreans after they begin fighting each other for control of Mariah's turf following her incarceration. Rosalie later reappears in the third season of Daredevil as one of the crime bosses that Fisk is extorting protection money from.

Marvel Universe:
Spider-Man: Black Cat became one under Dan Slott in his run of Spider-Man. During Superior Spider Man, she was in the middle of a robbery when Spider-Man (who was actually Doctor Octopus in Peter Parker's body) attacked her without warning, leaving her beaten and wrapped in his webbing for the police to arrest. This left Felicia totally shocked and furious at not only her lover's perceived betrayal but at the loss of all of her personal belongings and criminal contacts. Swearing revenge on him, she becomes a crime boss and genuine villain carving a criminal empire of her own and becoming a major antagonist for Spider-Man and Silk... until she lost her gang during Venom Inc. and Nick Spencer took over The Amazing Spider-Man, whereupon she went back to her old Classy Cat-Burglar act.
Iron Man: Giuletta Nefaria, a.k.a. Madame Masque, became the leader of the Maggia, the No Celebrities Were Harmed Captain Ersatz version of The Mafia.
The Punisher:
Hot-Blooded Evil Matriarch Ma Gnucci is the boss of the large Gnucci Crime Family in The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank.
Rosalie Carbone starts out as a Mafia Princess before wresting the leadership of the Carbone crime family away from the male capos after her male relatives are all apparently killed. She isn't one of Frank's more successful enemies, but she doesn't hesitate to put hits out on people.

Yakuza 2: Yayoi Dojima took over as Interim Chairman of the Dojima family between her husband's death and her son's ascension to the office. The fact that she, as a woman and not a sworn member of the family, took over would make her remarkable enough, but she also manages to keep the unruly family together by sheer force of personality. Even old street monsters like Majima and Kashiwagi show her nothing but deference and respect.

Aria T'Loak in Mass Effect 2 is the ruler of the Wretched Hive Omega. While not referred to by any official title, she has the entire crime life on Omega in her pocket and shows many of the mannerisms associated with this trope. She's also big on keeping the (relative) peace in Omega. The third game shows that her power seems to extend beyond Omega, as she's capable of bypassing Citadel customs simply by calling up the Asari Councilor and she can potentially end up controlling three of the biggest PMCs of the galaxy.

The Garden of Sinners: During the ten-year Time Skip between the main body of the novel and the Mirai Fukuin epilogue, Shiki Ryougi goes from Mafia Princess to mafia queen by inheriting her father's Ryougi Group. This is a rather predictable development since Shiki was groomed as his successor almost from birth, despite having an older brother, because unlike him, she has manifested the family trait of having Multi-Gendered Split Personalities, which has traditionally marked the true heirs of the Ryougi. And although her male personality "died" due to a brain injury she sustained at the age of 16, she instead gained the ability to kill literally anything. By the time she inherited the Group, she molded her presence into something both perfectly regal and utterly terrifying — at least to those in her debt, like Mitsuru Kamekura, from whose perspective we see her in Mirai Fukuin.

Star Trek: Lower Decks: Previous Star Trek shows had established that the apparent race of sexy green skinned otherwise human looking aliens who were also pirates who sold their own women as slaves - do not actually sell their women at all this was a ploy to get other races to let their guard down and they were actually Matriarchal Pirate Syndicates. It also turns out adorable science officer D'Vana Tendi is the heir to the third biggest syndicate on the planet but she wants no part in this hence her joining Starfleet, despite having the title "Mistress of the Winter Constellations". Tendi's younger sister D'Erika operated the syndicate as Queenpin in D'Vana's stead.

Orange Is the New Black: Befitting an a women's prison, all gang leaders are (of course) female.
Red is a sympathetic figure who runs the illegal smuggling operations, having run her Big, Screwed-Up Family's crimes on the outside.
Red's Evil Counterpart, Vee, is also this on both the inside and outside. She adopts children solely so they can act as drug runners for her, deals with all the money, has many corrupt cops on her payroll, and kills anyone who steps out of line.
Piper herself becomes this (reluctantly) to the White Power Group in Season 4 over her underwear empire, though she later turns her back on it after being punished by the Dominicans.

Vanessa Marianna wants to think of herself as this in season 3, insisting on having a more active role in Fisk's affairs after she returns to New York and agrees to marry him. However, her first action, ordering the murder of Ray Nadeem, instead ends up undoing Fisk's whole operation.

As one of the "Four Emperors" (4 strongest pirate crews), her influence spreads to multiple islands, including those that she claimed as her own (that are forced to give her a supply of sweets every month in exchange of her protection). She also puts her many children on Arranged Marriage with powerful people/families in order to strengthen her group's connection. She's also a big name in the "underworld", with many big-name acquaintances (including the president of the world's newspaper company) under her name.

In the Supergirl storyline Starfire's Revenge, the titular villain is the head of a criminal organization. She has an army of mooks and tons of cash.
The Teen Titans and Vigilante both clashed with Donna Omicidio (a.k.a. 'The Godmother'): a ruthless mobster who's had her hands in many shady dealings ever since she made it big during the prohibition.note Donna Omicidio is most likely an alias. It's Italian for "Lady Homicide".[
Wonder Woman:
Wonder Woman (1942): The rather brutal Yellow Mask Gang, which conducts its business internationally, is run by the Faux Affably Evil Tirza.
Wonder Woman (1987): After crime lord Tony Sazia's death his widow Julianna takes over his enterprises, and decides to take over all the organized crime in Boston in a bloody gang war.

Gina is the Lady Macbeth to Jimmy and constantly accuses him of being too weak. By Season 2, she's openly suggesting that she should be running the family instead of him, but her father nixes that idea due to the patriarchal Mafia system. By the end of the series, she's usurped both her husband and father, taking control of the family business.

In Solo, Lady Proxima is a Grindalid crime boss operating in Corellia and the leader of the White Worms, formed by orphaned young Corellians. By the end of the film, Qi'ra, a former White Worm, becomes the leader of the Crimson Dawn syndicate after she betrays her master Dryden Vos. However, Vos was just a figurehead and public face and so Qi'ra is still subservient to Darth Maul. It's played completely straight in the Expanded Universe comic Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters; Maul is long-dead by this point and Qi'ra is fully in command of the organization.

Spider-Man: Black Cat became one under Dan Slott in his run of Spider-Man. During Superior Spider Man, she was in the middle of a robbery when Spider-Man (who was actually Doctor Octopus in Peter Parker's body) attacked her without warning, leaving her beaten and wrapped in his webbing for the police to arrest. This left Felicia totally shocked and furious at not only her lover's perceived betrayal but at the loss of all of her personal belongings and criminal contacts. Swearing revenge on him, she becomes a crime boss and genuine villain carving a criminal empire of her own and becoming a major antagonist for Spider-Man and Silk... until she lost her gang during Venom Inc. and Nick Spencer took over The Amazing Spider-Man, whereupon she went back to her old Classy Cat-Burglar act.

The Punisher:

The Teen Titans and Vigilante both clashed with Donna Omicidio (a.k.a. 'The Godmother'): a ruthless mobster who's had her hands in many shady dealings ever since she made it big during the prohibition.note Donna Omicidio is most likely an alias. It's Italian for "Lady Homicide".[

Vale's Underground:
Cinder is portrayed as a mob boss and she absolutely dominates every other mob boss in the city even if only unofficially. She was a former Mafia Princess before her mother, Salem, raised her to be a mobster in her own right.
Raven Branwen also counts. She works with her brother, but she's the one working on the ground. Qrow needs to keep his hands clean publicly.
Salem is a former mob boss and Cinder's predecessor.
Vale's Underground (rewrite): Cinder is now officially the prevailing mob boss in Vale with everyone working under her as her underbosses. Sienna Khan plays a similar role since she the leader of the White Fang.

Cyberpunk 2077 contains numerous examples, including Fixers Regina Jones, Wakako Okada, Dakota Smith, and "Queen of the Fixers" Rogue Amendiares. Two major gangs - The Mox and Voodoo Boys - are run by women, and a third (Maelstrom) can end up run by a woman based on the player's actions. Female V can also become this in The Sun ending, where she succeeds Rogue as Night City's top fixer.

During an episode in the first season of Burn Notice called "Broken Rules", Michael is asked to break up a Protection Racket that is terrorizing Miami's "Little Havana". He's mildly surprised to learn that the head of the extortionists is a ruthless woman that the other gangsters call "Concha". Michael snarkily comments on how progressive the whole thing is.

However, The Don turns out be a senile old man and his daughter Annalisa is the one who is really in charge, and remains so throughout the rest of the series. She explains to Tony that the rest of her criminal brothers and cousins were all killed in feuds or targeted by the authorities, but that for these Italian mobsters obeying a woman boss is like obeying their mother.

Yachie Kicchou and Saki Kurokoma from Touhou Kikeijuu ~ Wily Beast and Weakest Creature each lead one of the four groups that fight for dominance in the Animal Realm. Both are even described as kumichou, the term for yakuza bosses in Japan. Of the two of them, Yachie is more mafia-like, a charismatic schemer with a power to remove people's will to fight back against her. Bonus point for being a literal Dragon Lady. Saki acts more like a thug, as she and her group value physical strength, but don't really think things through. On a related note, Touhou Gouyoku Ibun ~ Sunken Fossil World introduces the third leader: Yuuma Toutetsu, a ruthless pragmatist driven by a bottomless greed. The leader of the fourth unidentified group may also qualify (what with the series' Improbably Female Cast), but since they have neither been given an appearance or alluded to like Yuuma was, we don't actually know about them.

Noir: Silvana "Intoccabile" Greone is summoned from Sicily by the American mafia to take over the leadership of the local mob after Kirika and Mireille assassinate the previous caporegime. It is never made clear why Silvana is held in such high esteem by the Family ("Intoccabile" literally means "untouchable"), but she immediately goes on to prove her credentials by mercilessly cleansing the mob of traitorous members, taking out those who ordered the hit on the old boss, and going after his assassins.
