* [[Diane Duane]]'s [[Young Wizards]] series includes a sentient whale teleporting to the moon for a meeting in the eighth book. While the whale spends no time actually traveling ''through'' space, it probably still counts.
* In ''[[The Dreaming Dark]]'' trilogy for the [[Eberron]] setting, the main characters are in a dimensionally-traveling orb-shaped vessel sitting in the ethereal plane, where they are rammed by something they can't see from the inside. The leader immediately panics about "orb-eating ethereal whales".
* The ''[[Ring WorldRingworld]]'' series briefly mentions these, called "starseeds". The Outsiders, a race that could easily dominate the Galaxy but is content to sell information, follow them for whatever reason.
* In [[John Varley]]'s [[Gaea Trilogy]], the artificial planet Gaea is home to ''air whales.'' (Since Gaea itself is in orbit around Saturn, they are also, technically, in space.)
* Cassie could be called this, or the air whale variant, albeit briefly, in at least two ''[[Animorphs]]'' books, although perhaps it's more of a falling whale...
