The Dalek shuttle was a shuttlecraft used by the Daleks to travel from their ships to the surfaces of planets. The shuttle was docked on the Dalek Mothership and left through a hatch on the ship's underside.

The shuttle could hold four Daleks and had heavy ground defences. Imperial Daleks used a Dalek Shuttle to reach Earth to find the Hand of Omega for their emperor, Davros, before the Renegade Daleks did for the Dalek Supreme. It was probably destroyed when the Hand of Omega hit the Mothership and destroyed it, though it could have be used as an escape pod. (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks)

Since Time War Dalek technology shows that Daleks advanced their casings to survive in the vacuum of space, shuttles may no longer be used. However, a group of Daleks of the same type used Battle Shuttles in their invasion of Aridius. (DWBIT: #17)
