USS Palawan (ARG-10) was a Luzon class internal combustion engine repair ship that saw service in the United States Navy from 1945 to 1947.

Palawan, built as MCE hull 2668 by the Bethlehem-Fairfield, MD, was launched 12 August 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Louis Augustine; converted to an internal combustion engine repair ship at Bethlehem Key Highway Shipyard, Baltimore; and commissioned on 3 May 1945.

On that date it steamed north to join ServDiv 103 and support the ships of Task Force 52 during Western Japan minesweeping operations.

Arriving at San Diego, California in June, it underwent inactivation, decommissioned, on 15 January 1947, and was berthed there in the Pacific Reserve Fleet.

Palawan remained at San Diego until transferred to the Maritime Administration's National Defense Reserve Fleet at Suisun Bay, CA, on 23 February 1962.
