USS Breton (CVE-23) (previously AVG-23 then ACV-23) was a Bogue-class escort carrier of the United States Navy.

Breton launched on 27 June 1942 by Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding of Tacoma, Washington under a Maritime Commission contract; sponsored by Mrs. A. H. Rooks, widow of Captain Albert Harold Rooks a posthumous Navy Medal of Honor recipient in World War II; and commissioned on 12 April 1943.

Throughout her World War II service, Breton operated with the Carrier Transport Squadron, Pacific Fleet.

Her sailings carried her throughout the Pacific supplying men, materiel, and aircraft to units of the fleet engaged in making strikes on the enemy.

Upon her return to the west coast in January 1946 after serving as a unit of the Far Eastern occupation forces, Breton prepared for inactivation at Tacoma, and went out of commission in reserve there on 30 August 1946.
