The USS Rutledge (NCC-57295) was a Federation New Orleans class frigate operated by Starfleet during the 24th century.

In the 2340s, the Rutledge was involved in the Federation-Cardassian Conflict while under the command of Captain Benjamin Maxwell. (TNG: "The Wounded")

In 2348, the Rutledge discovered an escape pod containing a Starfleet medical officer and three week old baby boy. The duo were dropped off at Starbase 173.

In 2373, Ensign Keval ch'Rayya was assigned as a tactical officer aboard the Rutledge and served on the Rutledge this function for the next several months of the Federation conflict with the Klingons, briefly serving as the assistant chief tactical officer during the attempt to retake the still-occupied Archanis Four which was led by the Tecumesh and Rutledge during the ceasefire attempt.
