USS Edward H. Allen (DE-531) was a John C. Butler-class destroyer escort in service with the United States Navy from 1943 to 1946 and from 1951 to 1958.

Edward H. Allen sailed from Boston, Massachusetts, 6 March 1944 for Miami, Florida, to serve as schoolship for pre-commissioning crews of escort vessels.

She was at Casco Bay preparing for service in the Pacific Ocean when the war ended, and remained there for experimental operations.

After spending Navy Day at Boston, Edward H. Allen sailed to Green Cove Springs, Florida, where she was placed out of commission in reserve 10 May 1946.
