CSS Lapwing was a barque of the Confederate States of America of the American Civil War.

Lapwing sailed from Boston, Mass., en route to Batavia, Java, with a cargo of coal, tobacco, and provisions when she was captured by CSS Florida on 28 March 1863.

Lieutenant Averett reported the capture on 20 April of the American ship Kate Dyer bonded by him because she bore a neutral cargo.

Averett was replaced by Acting Master R. S. Floyd, CSN, who was directed to anchor under the Rocas, 80 miles west of Fernando de Noronha where Florida would coal.

Floyd waited the stipulated 30 days, but faced with a shortage of provisions, burned his ship on 20 June 1863.
