Number One is a fictional character in the science-fiction franchise Star Trek. She first appeared in "The Cage", the initial 1965 pilot episode of the original series, as the unnamed, intellectual second-in-command to Captain Christopher Pike of the starship Enterprise.

The pilot was rejected, with most of its characters, including Number One, being omitted from the second pilot and the subsequent series; however, footage from "The Cage" featuring the character was repurposed for inclusion in the two-part story "The Menagerie" in 1966.
