The Delta Flyer is a shuttlecraft attached to the USS Voyager in the science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager.

The fictional vehicle first appeared in the episode "Extreme Risk." Production designer Richard James and senior illustrator Rick Sternbach designed the ship. In the storyline of the show, it was originally the brainchild of Lieutenant Tom Paris, who took to heart Seven of Nine's suggestion (in an earlier episode) that he should build a new shuttlecraft to overcome the deficiencies of Class 2 shuttles. In the storyline, Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres contributes her engineering skills and Seven of Nine her expertise in Borg weaponry to the ship's design. Tom Paris outfitted the cockpit with manual flight controls, due to his love of flying.

In another episode, the Delta Flyer was used to test quantum slipstream technology. The original Delta Flyer was used in one episode to infiltrate a Borg Tactical Cube and the Flyer was destroyed; the crew quickly replaced it by building a new version, just in time for it to compete in an interstellar small craft race.

After the episode in which they married, newlyweds Paris and Torres used the Delta Flyer as their honeymoon vehicle.
