USS Kerlew (ID-1325) was a United States Navy cargo ship in commission from 1918 to 1919. Kerlew was built in 1906 at Stockton-on-Tees, England, by Craig, Taylor and Company, Ltd. Prior to World War I, she served as the Austro-Hungarian commercial cargo ship Virginia. She was named Kerlew and owned by Kerr Navigation Corporation of New York City by the time the United States Army acquired her on a bareboat charter basis in October 1917. Kerlew was decommissioned on 12 April 1919 and transferred the same day to the United States Shipping Board for simultaneous return to her owner.
