Quadrant:	Alpha
Affiliation:	Federation

Betazed is a planet in the fictional television, movie, and book series Star Trek. The Class M planet is populated by a species of telepathic humanoids, the Betazoids. They were first brought into existence on the series when a half Human, half Betazoid character named Deanna Troi was introduced as ship's counselor on the Star Trek: The Next Generation television show.

The biennial Trade Agreements Conference, an interstellar congress, was held on Betazed in 2366.

Lake Cataria on Betazed was one of Deanna Troi's favorite places. The Janaran Falls is a great waterfall located on the planet.

In the final year of the Dominion War, Betazed was conquered by the Dominion. It is presumed that it was returned at the end of the war. In the (non-canon) Star Trek novel The Battle of Betazed, it is shown how the planet was ruled by the Jem'Hadar and their Cardassian allies for four months. It was eventually liberated by the Betazoids using telepathic emotional projection against the Jem'Hadar.
