The US Star Trek postage stamp was released 17 September 1999 by the United States Postal Service.

The thirty-three cent stamp was part of the Postal Service's "Celebrate the Century" initiative, which recognized significant events representing each decade of the 20th century. The Star Trek stamp, issued on a pane with fourteen other stamps representing the decade of the 1960s, was one of the winners in the Arts and Entertainment category. It was released on 17 September 1999 and the story of the stamp was featured in the 20 July 1998 issue of Time magazine and in the Trekkies 2 film.

Keith Birdsong was chosen as the artist and his image depicts the USS Enterprise in orbit set against the Starfleet emblem.

Upon its release, a number of Star Trek stamp-related items were released including coffee mugs, T-shirts, and a 1999 Hallmark Christmas ornament.

On 2 September 2016 in celebration of Star Trek's 50th anniversary, four new US Star Trek stamps created by Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers premiered at the Star Trek: Mission New York convention with Walter Koenig in attendance. [1]

In 2023, Adam Schiff proposed a Leonard Nimoy commemorative stamp. [2]
