USS Gentry (DE-349) was a John C. Butler-class destroyer escort acquired by the United States Navy during World War II.

The destroyer escort's keel was laid down 13 December 1943 by the Consolidated Steel Corporation at their yard in Orange, Texas.

Gentry then sailed from New London, Connecticut on 9 January 1945 escorting the submarines Bullhead and Lionfish to Key West, Florida.

The destroyer escort then continued via the Panama Canal to the Western Pacific, arriving at Manus, Admiralty Islands on 20 February.

After the Japanese capitulation 15 August, Gentry continued escorting convoys out of Leyte Gulf to New Guinea, Manila Bay, and Okinawa.
