USS Pepperwood (YN-31/AN-36) was an Aloe-class net laying ship built for the United States Navy during World War II.

She was originally ordered and laid down as USS Walnut (YN-31) but renamed before her August 1941 launch.

She was stricken from the French Navy in April 1972, but her fate beyond that is unreported in secondary sources.

Transferred to the French Navy under Lend Lease 15 December 1944, she was sold to France 21 March 1949.

Pepperwood received one battle star for World War II service.
