Three vessels of the United States Navy have been named USS Amphitrite, after the sea-goddess Amphitrite of Greek mythology.

The first Amphitrite was the Tonawanda renamed in 1869.

The second Amphitrite was a monitor launched in 1883, commissioned in 1895, and active during the Spanish-American War. Decommissioned in 1919, the monitor was used as a floating hotel and for housing, finally being scrapped in 1952.

The third Amphitrite (ARL-29) was a landing craft repair ship commissioned in 1945 and in service until 1947.
