USS Rutland (APA-192) was a Haskell-class attack transport built and used by the US Navy in World War II.

With the division she departed Pearl Harbor on 27 January 1945 for Eniwetok Atoll, Marshall Islands.

From there she steamed to Espiritu Santo island of Vanuatu and loaded parts of the 27th Division, 10th Army.

She then moved to the main Okinawa bay for a few days, then steamed to Tsugen Jima after it had been secured.

While the beach had been secured the Rutland and her ship convoy battled many enemy air attacks with the deck guns.

She prepared for the invasion of the Japanese home islands from 26 June until 15 August 1945, with exercises at Leyte.

On 16 September she loaded parts of the 41st Infantry Division, 10th Corps, U.S. Army, and troop cargo at Zamboanga, Mindanao, Philippine Islands.

She steamed to Hiro Wan, Honshū, Japan and arrived on 6 October and unloaded her crew.

On 14 October, as part of Operation Magic Carpet loaded about 1,900 Navy members at Okinawa, she arrived at Seattle on 1 November.

On 1 October 1958 she was removed from the Naval Vessel Register and transferred to the Maritime Commission for scrapping.

On 31 March 1959 she was moved to the National Defense Reserve Fleet at James River, Virginia.
