SS A. J. Cermak (Hull Number 1836) was a Liberty ship built in the United States during World War II. She was named after Anton Cermak, who was mayor of Chicago from 1931 until his assassination in 1933.

The ship was laid down on 9 November 1943, then launched on 30 November 1943. The ship survived the war only to suffer the same fate as nearly all other Liberty ships that survived did; she was scrapped in 1964.
