USS Brockenborough was a sloop captured by the Union Navy during the American Civil War.
She was used by the Union Navy primarily as a ship's tender and also as a gunboat stationed off Confederate ports to enforce the Union blockade which prevented trade with foreign countries.
Brockenborough was wrecked in a storm and her crew burned her to prevent capture.
