"Mudd's Women" is an episode of the science fiction television series Star Trek that was first broadcast on October 13, 1966, and then repeated on May 4, 1967. It is the sixth episode of the first season, and was written by Stephen Kandel based on a story by Gene Roddenberry, and directed by Harvey Hart. It is the first of two episodes to feature Harcourt Fenton Mudd, an interstellar con man, who is transporting a cargo of female humans, i.e. Mudd's Women.

On stardate 1329.1, the Federation starship USS Enterprise, under the command of Captain James T. Kirk, is in pursuit of a J-class cargo spaceship. The ship overloads its engines in an escape attempt through an asteroid field. Kirk orders the Enterprise's shields extended around the other spacecraft to protect it until the cargo ship's occupants can be transported aboard the Enterprise. This action destroys all but one of the lithium crystal circuits in the Enterprise's spacewarp engines.

The Enterprise beams the cargo ship's passengers (three women) and its captain aboard, just as an asteroid impact destroys their spaceship. In the transporter room, the man introduces himself as "Leo Francis Walsh." The three women who accompany him are stunningly beautiful, and they distract many of the male crew members of the Enterprise, including ship's surgeon Dr. McCoy and Chief Engineer Scott. The women are destined to be wives for settlers on the planet Ophiuchus III and are introduced as Ruth Bonaventure, Eve McHuron, and Magda Kovacs.
