USS Ameera (SP-453) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919.
Ameera was built as a private motorboat of the same name in 1917 by the Mathis Yacht Building Company at Camden, New Jersey. On 23 July 1917, the U.S. Navy purchased her from Alexander Sellers of Ardmore, Pennsylvania, for use as a section patrol vessel during World War I. She was commissioned as USS Ameera (SP-453) on 11 August 1917 with Chief Boatswain's Mate C. E. Pearson in command.
Assigned to the 4th Naval District, Ameera carried out patrol duties there for the remainder of World War I. After the war ended on 11 November 1918, she performed dispatch boat and port duties at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, until she was placed in reduced commission at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in June 1919.
On 24 July 1919, Ameera was ordered to be sold. She was decommissioned in September 1919 and sold at auction on 27 April 1920 to Mr. T. E. Mitten.
