The starship log on the USS Defiant (NX-74205) was the method used by officers other than the commanding officer to officially record the ship's missions. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

In case they were killed attempting to destroy an Iconian gateway on Vandros IV, several members of the crew, including Jadzia Dax and Miles O'Brien, added their farewell messages to the ship's log. (DS9: "To the Death")

For commander's and captain's log entries recorded aboard the Defiant by Benjamin Sisko, see Commander's log, Deep Space 9 and Captain's log, Deep Space 9.
