The Scouting Fleet was part of the United States Fleet in the United States Navy, and renamed the Scouting Force in 1930.

Established in 1922, the fleet consisted mainly of older battleships and initially operated in the Atlantic. In 1932, the force was moved to the Pacific, where it remained until 1940 when the Fleets were again reorganized into the Pacific Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet.
