USS Yaupon (ATA-218) was an ATA-214-class tug of the United States Navy built near the end of World War II.

After initial trials and training, during which she allided with an abutment of the bascule bridge at Corpus Christi, Texas, she made one round trip to the Far East.

On 27 May 1945, with civilian tug Miraflores, she refloated the tanker Cities Service Fuel, which had gone aground off Galveston.

She commenced her first service voyage on 1 June, towing a barge from Westwego, Louisiana for San Diego, California.

Her name was struck from the Navy List on 17 April 1946, and she was sold through the War Shipping Administration on 3 January 1947, probably for demolition.
