USS Bagley (DD-386) was a Bagley-class destroyer of the United States Navy. From 12 June 1937 her captain was F. W. Morris.

She was in Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, the day of the Japanese attack. The raid left her afloat. On 9 August 1942, in the Battle of Savo Island, Bagley was with Patterson on the southern patrol.

She fired torpedoes at the Japanese column and then took no further part, coming through the fight unhit. Bagley survived the war. She was still afloat at the surrender. On 25 February 1947 she was decommissioned, and afterward she was sold for scrap.
