Saratoga Captain (2286)

The Saratoga''s captain was a 23rd century human female. In 2286 her ship was rendered powerless by an unknown alien probe attempting to contact the humpback whales of Earth. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

This unnamed officer, played by Madge Sinclair, is the first female starfleet starship captain portrayed on Star Trek (even despite the quizzical TOS:"Turnabout Intruder" reference where Janice Lester believes female captains are an impossibility). In the Pocket Books novel adaptation she is referred to as Captain Alexander, but there is no filmed evidence that this was canonically intended to be her name.

Sinclair also played a 24th Century Starfleet Captain Silva La Forge in the TNG "Interface". This leaves one to wonder if she had any relation to the La Forge's.

However, although Sinclair's character is the first female captain seen in Star Trek, she is not the first female character to be depicting commanding a starship. In "The Lorelei Signal," Uhura assumed command of the Enterprise. The first female character depicted commanding a starship in live-action was Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
