Crewman () is a generic term for a crew member serving in the operation of an aircraft, naval vessel, spacecraft, or train. The term may also refer to individuals serving in a military capacity on weapon system platforms, such as those operating a tank.
In some science fiction (most notably Star Trek), crewman is the lowest military rank on board a spacecraft, analogous to seaman in many real-world navies.
