Kirk/Uhura is the het pairing of James T. Kirk and Uhura in Star Trek: The Original Series fandom.

Canon

Their only kiss in canon is forced by a mindcontrolling alien in the TOS episode "Plato's Stepchildren", which is popularly (but incorrectly) attributed as having been the first interracial kiss on television.[1]
