USS Howick Hall (ID-1303) was a cargo steamship that was built in Scotland in 1910 and served in the merchant fleets of the United Kingdom, United States, Italy and Panama. She served in the United States Army in 1917–18 and then the United States Navy in 1918–19. The United States Maritime Commission bought her in 1941, and a German air attack sank her in 1942.
The ship was launched as Howick Hall, and kept that name when she served in the US Army and US Navy. She was renamed Dovenden in 1929, Ircania in 1935 and Raceland in 1941. Her name was Raceland when she was sunk in 1942.
