"You see, gentlemen, behind every great man there is a woman urging him on. And so it was with my Stella. She urged me on into outer space. Not that she meant to, but with her continual, eternal, confounded nagging. Well, I think of her constantly, and every time I do, I go further out into space. "
– Harcourt Fenton Mudd, 2268 ("I, Mudd")

Stella Mudd was a 23rd century Human female and the shrewish wife of Harcourt Fenton Mudd. She often criticized him for his drinking, overeating and carousing.

Sometime before 2268, Stella became separated from her husband when the latter began his career as a con artist. Mudd later created an android replicate of Stella that was programmed so that he could always get in the last word. (TOS: "I, Mudd")

The android version of Stella was portrayed by Kay Elliot.
