Roger Bruce Chaffee (February 15, 1935 - January 27, 1967) was a Human astronaut who worked on Project Apollo. He died in 1967 in a fire aboard the Apollo 1 spacecraft at Cape Kennedy, Florida.

Chaffee was regarded as a father figure by the crew of the USS Defiant, who named a shuttlecraft after him as a reminder of the hazardous nature of space travel. (ST reference: Ships of the Line)
