USS Mondamin was a proposed United States Navy screw sloop-of-war or steam frigate proposed for in the 1860s that was cancelled.
Mondamin was a wooden-hulled bark-rigged[5] (or ship-rigged[6]) Contoocook-class screw sloop-of-war[7] or steam frigate[8] with a single funnel slated to be built for the Union Navy late in the American Civil War. The contract for her construction was cancelled.

- ↑ Per Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1860-1905, p. 125, whether she would have considered a sloop or frigate depended on whether or not she would have been built with a spar deck, without which she have been a sloop, but it is unknown whether she would have had a spar deck or not because she was never built and because her completed sisters differed in this regard.
