USS Anado (SP-455) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919. Anado was built as a private motorboat of the same name in 1917 by the Gas Engine and Power Company and the Charles L. Seabury Company at Morris Heights, the Bronx, New York. On 8 July 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her under a free lease from her owner, Mr. J. A. Mollenhauer of Brooklyn, New York, for use as a section patrol vessel during World War I. She was commissioned as USS Anado (SP-455) on 17 August 1917.
