The USS Hudson was a Starfleet runabout in service during the Dominion War.

In 2375, the Hudson was used by Doctor Leonard McCoy and Captain Montgomery Scott to inspect field hospitals and repair stations on the front lines. As they were heading back to Earth the Hudson's warp engine malfunctioned, forcing them to land it on Bakrii for repairs. Once repaired the Hudson took both crewmembers back to Earth.
