* Hinted at in the ''[[Dune]]'' series, where it claims that House Harkennon got into the Emperor's favor by 'manipulating space whale fur prices'.

* [[Larry Niven]]'s ''The Integral Trees'' has the Moby, a whalish giant creature that lives within the breatheable Smoke Ring gas torus orbiting a dead neutron star. Notable in that, by the very nature of the Smoke Ring, it's both a Space Whale ''and'' an Air Whale at the same time.

* [[wikipedia:Cetus|The constellation Cetus]] is the closest thing you can get to a [[Real Life]] [[Space Whale]]. Originally described as a "sea monster" constellation, it's now referred to as "the whale" today.
