In 2267, Khan Noonien Singh referred to Paradise Lost while discussing if he could "tame a world." His reference was later clarified to Montgomery Scott, by Kirk, when he quoted a statement made by Lucifer when he fell into the pit, "It is better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven." (TOS: "Space Seed")

In 2285, two late 20th century books - one containing the poems Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, the other only Paradise Lost - were among the small collection of books found aboard the SS Botany Bay. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

In 2287, graffiti found on the entrance to Paradise City was taken from Paradise Lost. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)

In 2370, when showing the USS Enterprise-D's arboretum to a visiting Cairn delegation, Deanna Troi quoted from Paradise Lost: "Flowers of all hue, and without thorn the rose." (TNG: "Dark Page")

Paradise Lost was originally a collection of 12 books based on the biblical stories about the revolt of Satan against God, and Satan's corruption of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden.
