USS Tensas (1860) was a small 41-ton steamer captured by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. After Tensas was acquired by the Union Navy, she was outfitted with two large 24-pounder howitzers, a type of gun especially useful for riverbank bombardment, and was then sent to the Mississippi River Squadron for the duration of the war.
