The Star Fleet is a fictional tugboat corporation from the 1989 children's television series TUGS, from the original producers of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends - Robert D. Cardona and David Mitton.

The Star Tugs, are of course the major characters in the series. Located in Bigg City Port, their owner is the formidable Captain Star, who only ever appears as a microphone poking out of one of the windows!
