USS Wautauga (AOG-22) was a Mettawee-class gasoline tanker of the United States Navy during World War II.

Following shakedown, Wautauga got underway on 20 October for the U.S. West Coast and remained in the Panama Canal Zone for a week before resuming her voyage on the 29th and proceeding via San Diego, California, to the Hawaiian Islands.

Wautauga remained at Pearl Harbor through the end of the year 1944 and got underway on 13 January 1945 for the western Pacific Ocean, arriving at Eniwetok 12 days later.

Continuing to work out of Saipan between June 1945 and March 1946, Wautauga made two more fuel-carrying voyages to Iwo Jima; two to Marcus, and one to Guam.

She returned to Pearl Harbor on 23 April and remained there, performing local oiler duties, until departing on 26 October to transport a cargo of aviation gasoline and lubricants to Canton Island.
