USS Bronx (APA-236) was a Haskell-class attack transport that was built for service with the US Navy in World War II. Commissioned just weeks after the end of the war, she never saw hostilities. Bronx was named after Bronx, New York. She was launched 14 July 1945 by Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation of Portland, Oregon, under a Maritime Commission contract; sponsored by Mrs. John W. Greenslade, wife of Vice Admiral John W. Greenslade; acquired by the Navy 27 August 1945; and commissioned the same day Captain E. J. Anderson, USNR, in command.
