In 2378, Ensign Harry Kim hoped to speak with his mother for the first time in seven years in time for her birthday, due to Operation Watson being successful in establishing contact with Voyager. In a draw, he got one of the lowest isolinear chips, meaning he would be able to speak to her in a couple of months. However, Tom Paris swapped Kim's chip with his, which meant he would be able to speak with her in a couple days. Paris asked Kim in return to sing "Happy Birthday" to her. (VOY: "Author, Author")

In 2380, Commander Jack Ransom celebrated his birthday on stardate 57538.9. (LD: "Moist Vessel")

A scene included in the script of "Coming of Age", but not the final episode, would have established that Klingons did not celebrate birthdays like Humans did. Instead, in the words of Worf, "Klingons are born, live as warriors, and die." A somewhat analogous annual celebration was later established. The scene also had musings on Human birthdays, and particularly the fact that Humans looked forward to them until they reached a certain age and it became a source of discomfort.
In the first draft script of Star Trek Generations, Jean-Luc Picard wished Data "Happy birthday!", saying that, because Data had recently started experiencing emotions, he had "just been reborn."
