- Asclepius (or Asklêpios) (Greek: Ασκληπιος) was the god of medicine and doctors. He was the son of Apollo, the god of healing and plague.
- A variation on his symbol was present on Aquan objects on Argo. (TAS: "The Ambergris Element") His name was used in a version of the Hippocratic Oath spoken by The Doctor in 2373. (VOY: "Darkling") The quote from the USS Pasteur's dedication plaque used an alternate "Aesculapius" spelling of his name in the first part of the Hippocratic Oath. (TNG: "All Good Things..." )

- Nurse Asclepius was the presumed Greek God of Medicine and Healing mentioned in the story "A Special Creature: The Pink Merdog," set in the Trauma Center continuum, which was dealt with as a mission by Agents July Flame and Library. Because Asclepius was found within a dream of the Mary Sue creature, he was recruited due to his preference to remain unharmed and not be stuck there. Once at HQ, he joined Medical, which has made him happier than he'd ever been before. He remains grateful to July and Library.
- Asclepius is a medi-bot created in the late 23rd century programmed to perform all procedures, both physical and mental, on all living organisms. The crew encounter him after boarding a space station in search of new technology, only to discover that he has become mad over the years, although he himself denies it, having already given himself the all clear. He sedates Lister and the Cat with tranquilizer darts, thinking them to be two of his old patients, and begins an operation.
- The etymology of the name is unknown. (cf. Leucippe) In his revised version of Hjalmar Frisk's Griechisches etymologisches Wörterbuch (Greek etymological dictionary), Robert S. P. Beekes gives this summary of the different attempts: One might add that even though Szemerényi's etymology (Hitt. asula- + piya-) does not account for the velar, it is perhaps inserted spontaneously in Greek due to the fact that the cluster -sl- was uncommon in Greek: So, *Aslāpios would become Asklāpios automatically.
- Asclepius was the Olympian god of medicine and healing. Son of Apollo in mythology and brother of Orpheus Hercules told Elora that his cousin, Asclepius, taught him how to make medicines from herbs and roots (HTLJ "Siege at Naxos"). Hercules told Iolaus that Asclepius often said "An apple a day keeps Asclepius away" and that he never quite knew what was meant by that (HTLJ "The Apple"). Asclepius was one of the students mentored by Ceridian. When Ceridian was dying, Hercules suggested that Asclepius might be able to help but Ceridian knew better (HTLJ "Centaur Mentor Journey").
