A subspace transponder is a device aboard Federation starships used to locate and identify objects in space, such as other starships or shuttlecraft.

Each starship sends out a unique subspace transponder signal. By comparing the signal sent from a moon of Mab-Bu VI with stored transponders signals from other starships, Data was able to identify the distress signal as originating from the Daedalus-class starship USS Essex. (TNG: "Power Play")
