USS Pomander (SP-702) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1918.
Pomander was built in 1916 as a private motorboat of the same name by George Lawley & Son at Neponset, Massachusetts. On 29 May 1917, the U.S. Navy chartered her from Bertram B. Conrad of Wareham, Massachusetts, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She soon was commissioned as USS Pomander (SP-702).
Assigned to the 2nd Naval District in southern New England, Pomander carried out patrol duties for a time but eventually was deemed unfit for naval service and was returned to Lorenzo E. Anderson and Breckinridge Jones on 5 July 1918.
