USS Music (SP-1288) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1918.
Music was built as a civilian motor launch of the same name in either 1880 or 1914 by the Chance Marine Construction Company at Annapolis, Maryland. On 17 August 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her from her owner, the Conservation Commission of Maryland, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned as USS Music (SP-1288) the same day.
Assigned to the 5th Naval District, Music served on patrol and inspection duties in Hampton Roads and on the Elizabeth River in Virginia during World War I.
The Navy returned Music to the Conservation Commission on 24 September 1918.
