The USS Stargazer (NCC-2893) was a Federation Constellation-class star cruiser that was in service with Starfleet from the early to mid-24th century.

In 2333, Jean-Luc Picard served as a bridge officer on this vessel. When the ship's captain was killed, Picard took command of the situation and the vessel. Starfleet Command looked so favorably on Picard's actions, that they appointed him as the vessel's new commanding officer, a post he held for twenty-two years. Picard's crew included Jack R. Crusher, a weapons officer named Vigo, as well as physician Moritz Benayoun.

In 2355, the Stargazer was attacked and severely damaged by an unknown vessel in the Maxia Zeta system. Picard was able to destroy the attacking vessel, using what would later be named the Picard Maneuver. The Stargazer was overcome by fire and severe damage during the battle and had to be abandoned.

In 2364, the wreck of the Stargazer was found adrift and salvaged by the Ferengi. The Ferengi DaiMon Bok desired revenge against Picard, as his son had died commanding the attacking vessel at the "Battle of Maxia". He ultimately failed and the The Stargazer was towed to Xendi Starbase 9.

By 2401, the Stargazer was on display at the Fleet Museum of Athan Prime.
