The EAS Churchill is fictional spacecraft, an Omega-class destroyer, from the science fiction television series Babylon 5. The Churchill is under the command of Captain Sandra Hiroshi. The Churchill is presumably named for Winston Churchill.

After Earth Alliance President Morgan Clark declares martial law in mid-2260, several EarthForce units rally around General William Hague in open defiance of the martial law decree, calling for Clark's resignation. Hague places his flag on the EAS Alexander. Several engagements follow, during which all of the Alexander's attending vessels are destroyed^[1] and Hague himself is killed. The Alexander then makes its way to Babylon 5.^[2]

Captain Hiroshi and her crew evidently chose to support the rebellion against President Clark; the Churchill also sets a course for Babylon 5, arriving after the Alexander. Captain Hiroshi informs Captain John Sheridan and his command staff that President Morgan Clark is aware of the presence of the Alexander at the station and warns them that Clark has ordered a fleet to seize control of the station and put it under control of Nightwatch.^[2]

During the ensuing battle between Clark's fleet and Babylon 5, the Alexander and the Churchill, the Churchill is severely damaged. Seeing no other choice, Hiroshi sends her flaming destroyer on a collision course with one of Clark's destroyers, the EAS Roanoke. Both ships are destroyed in the collision. Churchill 's surviving Starfury fighters dock with the Alexander and are transferred to Babylon 5 in order to bring the latter's fighter squadrons back up to full strength. ^[2]
