At least the first Terra origin spacecraft.
TPM has a slideshow of shots from NASA.
It occurs to me. I think maybe Mercury is the only planet in the Solar System which has not warranted some science fiction story about aliens therefrom. Guess that would be too far-fetched.

WTF
There was a comic book! but you are correct, for the most part, nothing about any thing coming from Mercury and attacking the earth or popping out of anyones belly. There was the movie “Mercury Man” back in 2006.

I don’t recall an invasion from Uranus. Of course Pluto isn’t a planet anymore.

WTF
Of course there was an invasion from Uranus, remember, they were called the cling-on’s…..

Probably even an older slant on WTF’s is that old rhetorical question, “What does the Starship Enterprise have in common with toilet paper?” Of course, the answer is, “They both circle Uranus and wipe out the Klingons.”
Sorry.

Captain Future
Kim Stanley Robinson has imagined how colonists could live on Mercury, in a short story and a short section in one of his Mars trilogy books.
But I’m sure that over the years of science fiction, there have been aliens from Mercury. Just not very famous ones.
