The Battle of Wolf 359 is a fictional space battle in the Star Trek universe between the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Collective in the year 2367. The aftermath is depicted in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II" and the battle in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine pilot, "Emissary." The battle occurs at the star Wolf 359, a real star system located 7.78 light years from Earth's solar system, and constitutes a total loss for the Federation, after the single attacking Borg ship obliterates the opposing fleet and proceeds to Earth without significant damage.

In "The Best of Both Worlds," 40 Starfleet starships under the command of Admiral J. P. Hanson (George Murdock) gather near Wolf 359 to intercept a Borg cube ship traveling to Earth. The Borg, having assimilated Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his knowledge of Starfleet tactics and technology into its collective consciousness, obliterate the Starfleet force: according to dialog in "The Drumhead," 39 ships are destroyed, with the loss of over 11,000 lives. Survivors include Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) and his son, Jake (Cirroc Lofton), as well as an unknown number of Starfleet and Klingon captives assimilated by the Borg until the cube was destroyed. Following its victory, the Borg ship continues on its course to Earth, where the crew of the Enterprise-D rescue Picard and stop the cube.
