The USCGC Dallas (WHEC-716) was a Coast Guard high endurance cutter commissioned in 1967 at the Avondale Shipyard in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was the sixth ship or boat to bear the name of Alexander J. Dallas, the Secretary of the Treasury under President James Madison (1814–1816). She is one of twelve Hamilton class cutters built for the Coast Guard. The Dallas served in the Atlantic Ocean, venturing as far away as the Black Sea and Africa on occasion.
