Star Trek: The Captains' Summit is a Paramount Pictures Star Trek documentary which was released on Blu-ray video on 12 May 2009 and later on DVD. It was produced for inclusion in the Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection Blu-ray and DVD sets as a separate bonus disc.
The disc was included in the later that year released European and Japanese Star Trek: Legends of the Final Frontier Collection Blu-ray and DVD sets as well. The documentary had also been streamed as a stand-alone digital Video-on-Demand rental on Netflix, where it was listed as the "Trekker's Summit", but is no longer available there.
Whoopi Goldberg hosted William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, Leonard Nimoy, and Jonathan Frakes in a seventy-minute round-table discussion centered around performing the role of a Starfleet captain.
The actors recounted many anecdotes regarding the production of their respective Star Trek projects and the aftermath following their tenure as captain.
Prior to its release, Paramount's promotional material referred to this project as "The Star Trek Summit". Host Goldberg also referred to it as "The Star Trek Summit" during the discussion.
