USS Hazelwood (DD-531) was a Fletcher-class destroyer of the United States Navy. She was the second ship to carry the name of Commodore John Hazelwood, a commander in the Continental Navy during the War of Independence.
Her hull was laid down on 11 April 1942. She went down the ways on 20 November 1942, sponsored by Mrs. Harold J. Fosdick, and she was commissioned on 18 June 1943. Hunter Wood was captain from the day she joined the fleet.
That commission came while the Second World War was still underway, and Hazelwood served through the remainder of the conflict. She was afloat when the war ended. On 18 January 1946 she was taken out of commission and laid up at San Diego with the Pacific reserve fleet.
She returned to commissioned service at San Diego on 12 September 1951, and R. M. Niles became her commanding officer that day. The same hull lasted for many years after that return to duty. On 14 April 1976 she was sold for scrap.
