Homeboys in Outer Space is a short-lived American sitcom that aired on UPN from 1996 to 1997. The series parodied other science fiction shows, particularly Star Trek. The plot concerned an odd couple who traversed the universe in a winged car piloted by computer Loquatia. It starred Flex Alexander and Darryl Bell. Despite being a ratings failure, the show drew some attention from the NAACP for stereotypical presentations.

Each episode was packed with genre references to other works, such as Fantastic Voyage and Lost in Space.

Homeboys was also known among fans for its ability to attract interesting guest stars, including: Casey Kasem (Scooby Doo); Natasha Henstridge (Species); John Astin (The Addams Family); Burt Ward (Batman); and George Takei (Star Trek).
