Isaac Sapp (born 1844, date of death unknown) was a United States Navy sailor and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor. Born in 1844 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Sapp later joined the Navy from that state. By December 15, 1871, he was serving as a seaman in the engineering department of the USS Shenandoah. On that day, while the Shenandoah was at Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, he jumped overboard and, with Midshipman Miller, rescued Seaman Charles Prince from drowning. For this action, he was awarded the Medal of Honor two months later, on February 8, 1872. His first name was misspelled as "Isacc" on the citation.
