"Body Parts" is the 97th episode of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and the 24th episode of the fourth season.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures on the space station Deep Space Nine. This is one of several episodes that focus on the Ferengi, a species known for their devotion to earning profit. The Ferengi bartender Quark, believing himself to be terminally ill, auctions off his remains; when he discovers that the diagnosis was incorrect, he must either breach the contract, or end his life in order to deliver the merchandise.

The episode also writes actress Nana Visitor's real-life pregnancy into the story by having the pregnancy of the character Keiko O'Brien transferred to Visitor's character, Major Kira Nerys, following an accident.
