USS Cree (AT/ATF-84), a Cherokee-class fleet tug, was a ship of the United States Navy named for the Cree, an indigenous people of North America whose people range from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean.

Cree was one of 70 such vessels produced in this World War II-era class. Military Sealift Command currently uses fleet ocean tugs from the Powhatan class to accomplish a similar mission today. Cree participated in several classified missions such as Operation Wigwam.
