Star Trek: Early Voyages was a comic book series published by Marvel Comics, running for seventeen issues from February 1997 until June 1998. This series was one of the most popular of Marvel's brief stint of Star Trek publishing; however, it was canceled unceremoniously in the middle of a cliffhanger.

Set ten years before Kirk's five-year mission, this series showcases the adventures of the USS Enterprise under the command of Captain Christopher Pike.

A contemporary collection of the series was not released; however, IDW Publishing released the entire series as Star Trek Omnibus volume 2 in 2009; the series was also collected in volumes 9, 18, and 30 of the Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection in 2017 and 2018.
