"The Masterpiece Society" is the 113th episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, the 13th episode of the fifth season.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the Starfleet crew of the Federation starship Enterprise-D. In this episode, the crew of the USS Enterprise saves an isolated, genetically-engineered society from immediate destruction; the cultural contamination resulting from their interaction may still ultimately doom the colony.
