The USS Gettysburg (NCC-3890) was a Constellation-class Federation starship in service in the 24th century. The ship was formerly commanded by Captain Mark Jameson in the 2320s. During his tenure as captain, the Gettysburg rescued hostages from Mordan IV. It was not known until close to forty years later that Jameson supplied illegal arms in exchange for the release of the hostages, an act which resulted in the Mordan civil war.

The Gettysburg later docked for maintenance at Deep Space 9 during the Dominion War in 2375. (DS9: "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River")
- Considering the extreme age of the Gettysburg, it's possible that the ship mentioned in DS9 was a newer, different ship. However, without any direct evidence to support this, this article assumes that it is the same ship.
- The Gettysburg was named for Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the location of the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War.
