USS Urdaneta – occasionally misspelled Undaneta – was an iron-hulled gunboat in the United States Navy. She was named for Spanish friar and explorer Andres de Urdaneta.
Urdaneta was built for the Spanish government at the Cavite Arsenal near Manila, Philippines, in 1882 and 1883 and was apparently captured by the United States Army during the Spanish–American War in 1898. Acquired from the War Department by the Navy on 17 January 1899, Urdaneta went into commission on 2 June 1899.
