USS Avis (SP-382) was a patrol vessel that served in the United States Navy from 1917 to 1918.

She moved to Detroit, Michigan, on 10 November 1917 to prepare to be laid up over the winter of 1917-1918 while the Great Lakes were frozen over.

On 15 November 1917 she turned over her logbooks to the section commander at Detroit and became inactive for the winter.

On 9 May 1918, the training ship USS Isla de Luzon departed Detroit with Avis under tow, bound for Sault Ste.

Avis was decommissioned, stricken from the Navy List, and returned to her owners on 15 November 1918.
