The Gorn are a fictional extraterrestrial humanoid reptilian species in the American science fiction franchise Star Trek. They first appear in the original series episode, "Arena" and appear hostile to humans, this claim is backed up with a second appearance in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "In a Mirror Darkly, part 2." This may be due to, in universe, territorial disputes as to which planets can be colonized by which species (or just a general hatred of all non-Gorn species). Although the Gorn appear as a species in only two episodes of the Star Trek universe (once in the original series and once in Star Trek: Enterprise), the striking appearance of the alien has led to its appearance in numerous spin-off media.
Gorn is the surname of:
- Walter Gorn (1898–1968), German general in World War II
- Saul Gorn (1912–1992), American computer scientist
