USS Arrowhead (AD-35) was a planned Shenandoah-class destroyer tender of the United States Navy during World War II. She was laid down at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on 1 December 1944. Due to the defeat of Germany, and atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, her construction was cancelled on 11 August 1945, shortly before the war's end.
