USS Antelope was a stern-wheel steamer acquired by the Union Navy for service during the American Civil War. Originally Lavinia Logan—a charter vessel built in 1861 at Parkersburg, Virginia (now West Virginia) — she was purchased in 1864 to support operations of the Union Army along the streams of the Mississippi River.
