Warren Calavan Gill (December 31, 1912 – October 8, 1987) was a highly decorated United States Coast Guard lieutenant commander.

[1] After graduating from high school in Lebanon, he attended the University of Oregon, where he was a member of the football and swimming teams.

He was then commissioned as an ensign, and by August 1942 he was serving aboard the USS Samuel Chase as the Assistant Beach Officer.

Gill was awarded the Legion of Merit and earned a promotion to lieutenant (junior grade) for his leadership at Sicily.

On September 9, USS LST-357 was participating in Operation Avalanche at Salerno, Italy, when a German 88mm shell struck the ship.

Upon being transferred to a hospital in Algiers, Algeria, Gill was presented the Navy Cross by Vice Admiral Henry K. Hewitt for his actions at Salerno.
