Orgy of the Walking Dead 2 poster

A classic zombie movie

A zombie was a fictional monster found in Earth literature and movies.

Orgy of the Walking Dead was a classic zombie film. (VOY: "Future's End, Part II")

Lily Sloane, in 2063 upon hearing a description of the Borg by Jean-Luc Picard, imagined them as "bionic zombies." (Star Trek: First Contact)

In 2153, the starship Enterprise NX-01 responded to an automated distress call from the Vulcan D'kyr-type combat cruiser Seleya, which had disappeared in the Delphic Expanse the previous year. An away team, after boarding the Seleya, discovered that exposure to trellium-D had corroded the synaptic pathways of the crew and left them violent and deranged. A similar fate had befallen the crew of the Vaankara. (ENT: "Impulse")

The affected Vulcans are not named zombies on screen in the episode. The term comes from the scripts of "Impulse" and "Damage" and from the costume tags of the performers and the text commentary of "Impulse".
In an early script of Star Trek: First Contact, the character of Ruby claimed all people in town, including herself, were zombies, except Zefram Cochrane, who she thought was a great man.

In 2259, when the extradimensional lifeforms from Bannon's Nebula were attempting to communicate with Ensign Nyota Uhura, she hallucinated Hemmer as a zombie. (SNW: "Lost in Translation")

In 2260, an away team from the USS Enterprise snuck a shuttle past the Gorn by playing dead, something that was mentioned to be an old zombie movie trick. Spock admitted that he had never seen a zombie movie before. (SNW: "Hegemony")

In 2261, Captain Christopher Pike and Doctor Joseph M'Benga encountered zombies on Kenfori created by a moss hybridized using the chimera blossom. The two men were rescued by the Enterprise while Bytha sacrificed herself to hold the zombies off, being devoured by the creatures. (SNW: "Shuttle to Kenfori")

In 2380, the crew of the USS Cerritos was exposed to something called the rage virus, which caused crewmembers to behave like zombies, even going as far as eating each other's flesh. (LD: "Second Contact")

In 2381, while on a cave mission on Grottonus, D'Vana Tendi mentioned the time when they were trapped in the turbolift following the rage virus incident, which Beckett Mariner referred to as a "zombie outbreak." (LD: "Caves")

In 2382, the Cerritos crew entered a zombie-like state while visiting Starbase 80, which Mariner blamed on "the 80," the supposed curse of the infamous station. It was eventually discovered that the anaphasic lifeform Clem had mind merged with the Cerritos crew through their combadge signals, but had lost control because Clem had stretched himself too thin by accident. After Clem was ejected from Lieutenant Matt by Doctor Harrison Horseberry, the crew returned to normal. (LD: "Starbase 80?!")

Apocrypha

In IDW Publishing's Infestation, Volume 2, Admiral Kirk and his landing party encountered zombies on Calibus VII.
