USS Redwing (AM-48) was an Lapwing-class minesweeper commissioned by the United States Navy for service in World War I.

Commissioned on 11 October as USCGC Redwing, a cruising cutter, she operated out of New York City and Boston until 19 November 1928.

She arrived New York 30 August and there engaged in salvage operations until October, when she underwent a short availability at Norfolk, Virginia.

At 0605 29 June, when about 10 nautical miles (19 km) from her destination, Redwing was rocked by an underwater explosion which tore a large hole in her hull just below the bridge.

At 1005 near the main channel leading into the harbor at Bizerte, a British destroyer passed close abeam and her wake caused Redwing to roll over.
