The term heavy cruiser is a starship classification that is applied to large multi-purpose cruiser starships, and are similar in many regards to explorers.

In the 22nd and 23rd centuries, the term was used synonymously with battle cruiser. For example, the Klingons referred to the Enterprise (NX-01) and the USS Enterprise as battle cruisers, although Starfleet classified them as heavy cruisers. (ENT episode: "Judgment", TOS movie: Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
