"The Maquis" is a two-part episode from the second season of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures on Deep Space Nine, a space station located near a stable wormhole between the Alpha and Gamma quadrants of the Milky Way Galaxy, in orbit of the planet Bajor. The episode focuses on maintaining a difficult peace between the Bajorans, the Cardassians and the Federation by trying to resolve a conflict that could lead to war.

These two episodes first aired in April and May 1994. The episode introduced the Maquis, a recurring resistance group that was used in further Star Trek episodes, including the first episodes of Star Trek: Voyager.

Part I was written by James Crocker, Rick Berman, Michael Piller and Jeri Taylor, with the teleplay written by James Crocker,[1] and directed by David Livingston.[2] Part II was written by Rick Berman, Michael Piller, Jeri Taylor and Ira Steven Behr,[3] with the teleplay written by Ira Steven Behr, and directed by Corey Allen.[2]
