Here is a breakdown of all USS Enterprise Captains across the variousStar Trek movies, live-action series, comics, and books. Beginning with Star Trek: The Original Series, the U.S.S. Enterprise has been at the very heart of the enduring sci-fi franchise created by Gene Roddenberry in 1966. Altogether, the Enterprise has been the focal point of three TV shows and all 13 Star Trek movies starring the crews of TOS and Star Trek: The Next Generation. A fourth series centering on theEnterprise, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, launched on CBS All-Access in 2021. Of course, the two most famous Captains of the Enterprise are James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), who shared the big screen together in 1994's Star Trek Generations.

In 2001, the prequel series Enterprise (later renamed Star Trek: Enterprise) introduced Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula), who commanded the original starship bearing the fabled name in the 22nd century, a hundred years before Kirk's legendary voyages. In 2009, J.J. Abrams successfully rebooted theStar Trek movies and cast Chris Pine as a younger James T. Kirk, who led the Enterprise in a trilogy of films set in the alternate Kelvin timeline, separate from Star Trek's Prime reality. But there have also been numerous other versions of the legendary starship seen throughout the franchise, bearing even more alphabetical designations than«bloody A, B, C, or D,» in the words of Kirk's Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott (James Doohan). Notably, Abrams' rebooted Enterprise adventures will continue in the upcoming Star Trek 4.
