USS Wanaloset, also spelled USS Wanalosett, was proposed United States Navy sloop of war that appears never to have been laid down

Wanaloset was a bark-rigged screw sloop-of-war scheduled to be built at Baltimore, Maryland, by the firm of Hazelhurst and Wiegard. Although carried on the Navy List of January 1865, the ship's keel apparently never was laid down and her hull certainly never was built. Her engines, however, were completed, and they were installed in the screw steamer USS Pensacola.

The name Wanaloset was dropped from the Navy List about 1867.
