USS Crusader (1858) was a screw steamer of the United States Navy that served prior to, and during, the American Civil War. Crusader was heavily armed and was used in a "gunboat diplomacy" role when the United States needed to place political pressure on the South American country of Paraguay. After completing that mission, she returned to the United States to participate as a gunboat in the blockade of the Confederate States of America.
