The USS Horizon (NCC-1000) was a Federation cruiser starship in service to Starfleet in the late 22nd and early 23rd centuries.

By 2197 the Horizon, under the command of Captain Stuart Mann, had encountered twelve civilizations including the Davitos and the Alpha Cruci. ()

In the mid-2250s, a model of the Horizon's bridge was constructed as a simulator model which was used at Starfleet Academy on Earth. Amongst the many tests performed on the simulator was the Kobayashi Maru scenario. ( : ""; : "Starman")
