List of fictional spacecraft

This is a list of fictional spacecraft, starships and exo-atmospheric vessels that have been identified by name in notable published works of fiction. The term "spacecraft" is mainly used to refer to spacecraft that are real or conceived using present technology. The terms " spaceship" and "starship" are generally applied only to fictional space vehicles, usually those capable of transporting people.

Spaceships are often one of the key plot devices in science fiction. Numerous short stories and novels are built up around various ideas for spacecraft, and spacecraft have featured in many films and television series. Some hard science fiction books focus on the technical details of the craft. Some fictional spaceships have been referenced in the real world, notably Starship ''Enterprise'' from ''Star Trek'' which gave its name to Space Shuttle ''Enterprise'' and to the VSS ''Enterprise''.
For other ships from ''Star Wars'', ''Star Trek'', ''Robotech'', and other major franchises, see the separate lists linked below.
