Two ships of the United States Navy have borne the name Cyclops, for the Cyclopes of Greek mythology, a race of giants with only one eye.

  • The USS Cyclops (1864), was an ironclad steamer. Originally the Kickapoo, she was rechristened Cyclops from 15 June to 10 August 1869, and then to Kewaydin.
  • The USS Cyclops (AC-4), was a collier launched in 1910. She served in World War I and disappeared at sea in March 1918.
