USS Utina (ATF-163) was an Abnaki-class of fleet ocean tug. It was named after Olata Ouae Utina (fl. 1565), a leading chief of the now-extinct Utina tribe of Timucua Indians who occupied the territory along the middle reaches of the St. Johns River in Florida near the present-day site of St. Augustine, Florida. The Utina was laid down on 6 June 1945 at Charleston, South Carolina, by the Charleston Shipbuilding & Drydock Company; launched on 31 August 1945; sponsored by Mrs. Jonathan Yerkes; and commissioned at the Charleston Navy Yard, on 30 January 1946, Lt. A. J. Vetro in command.
