Star Trek: La nueva generación o Viaje a las estrellas: La nueva generación en Uruguay (Star Trek: The Next Generation) (algunas veces abreviada ST:TNG o TNG) es una serie de ciencia ficción estadounidense dentro del universo de Star Trek. Situada en el siglo XXIV, 21 años después de Star Trek: la serie original, el programa cuenta con una nueva tripulación y una nueva nave Enterprise. Su estreno fue el 28 de septiembre de 1987, contando con más de 27 millones de televidentes el episodio piloto "Encuentro en Farpoint". Con un total de 178 episodios (el mayor número de episodios que haya tenido alguna serie de Star Trek) y siete temporadas, llegó a su fin el 23 de mayo de 1994, con el episodio "Todas las cosas buenas".
Los episodios siguen las aventuras de la tripulación del USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), una nave clase Galaxia. Como nave insignia de la Federación Unida de Planetas, la Enterprise está diseñada para la exploración y la diplomacia, pero preparada para la batalla si fuera necesario. Su capitán es el conocido y carismático Jean-Luc Picard, mucho más intelectual y filosófico que el típico protagonista de una serie de ciencia ficción.
