Shore Leave is an annual fan-run convention that takes place in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. 
 
It was founded by the Star Trek Association of Towson which continues to run it. The first convention took place in 1979; the con was still running as of 2025.
The con's focus was initially on Star Trek, but it has since broadened to include other science fiction media.
