In the Star Trek fictional universe, the USS Farragut (NCC-60597) was a Nebula class starship in Starfleet. The Farragut rescued the crew of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) from Veridian III in 2371. In early 2373, the Farragut was assigned to evacuate Federation colonists on Ajilon Prime and was later destroyed by the Klingons near the Lembatta Cluster.

The USS Farragut (NCC-1647) was also a Constitution class starship commanded by Captain Garrovick. It was James T. Kirk's first starship post. In 2257, it was attacked by the Diakrome Cloud Creature, which killed over 200 crew members.
