The Final Reflection is a 1984 science fiction novel by American writer John M. Ford, part of the Star Trek franchise.

Although not considered canon because of later developments in the Star Trek movies and TV series, the presentation of Klingon culture in this novel and Ford's 1987 follow-on, How Much for Just the Planet?

The Klingon ambassador and his associates play a surprising role in this conflict, one which remains secret until the publication of a "tell-all" book forty years later, one which is read by Captain James T. Kirk in the "framing" story.

The 2017 TV series Star Trek: Discovery officially canonized at least one element introduced in the novel, the "Black Fleet" (as part of the Klingon spiritual belief in the afterlife) in its premiere episode, "The Vulcan Hello."

Actor Kenneth Mitchell, who played the Klingon Kol in the first season of Discovery, read The Final Reflection to prepare for the role.
