USS Pampanga (PG-39) was a schooner-rigged iron gunboat in the United States Navy during the Philippine-American War. She retained her Spanish name. Pampanga was laid down for the Spanish Navy by the Manila Slip Company, Cavite, Philippine Islands, in March 1887; launched in February 1888; captured by the US Army at Manila Bay in June 1898; commissioned in American service on 18 June 1899; and turned over to the US Navy at Cavite Navy Yard on 9 November 1899, with Lieutenant F. R. Payne in command. Pampanaga had two sister-ships which also served in the US Navy, USS Samar (PG-41) and USS Paragua.
