USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) is a fictional starship in the fictional Star Trek universe that serves as both the main setting of the original Star Trek television series, as well as the primary transportation method for the show's characters. The Enterprise has been depicted in four network television series, six feature films, many books, and much fan-created media. The original Star Trek series (1966–1969) features a voice-over by Enterprise captain, James T. Kirk (William Shatner), which describes the mission of the Enterprise as "to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before".

The Enterprise is a Constitution class Heavy Cruiser that serves as a part of Starfleet, which is the United Federation of Planets' space-borne peace-keeping force. It is capable of Interstellar travel and serves intermittently as both a patrol craft and as a deep-space exploration vessel. The ship's components were built at the Starfleet Division of the San Francisco Navy Yards and assembled in orbit.

The NCC-1701 appears in the first three Star Trek films in a refitted configuration. The original starship was destroyed in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and from then on was replaced with an identical starship, the NCC-1701-A.

The 2009 Star Trek film, which takes place in an alternate timeline, features a re-conceptualization of the original Enterprise.

Star Trek art director Matt Jefferies was the primary designer of the original Starship Enterprise. Jefferies' experience with aviation led to his Enterprise designs being imbued with what he called "aircraft logic". The final interior plans of the Enterprise were designed by Franz Joseph in 1974, with approval from both Gene Roddenberry and Paramount Pictures, six years after Star Trek had been cancelled. The plans heavily referenced both episodes of Star Trek and Matt Jefferies' design.
