USS Schley (DD-103) was a Wickes-class destroyer of the United States Navy. The same hull later served as the high-speed transport APD-14.

On 7 December 1941 she was in Pearl Harbor during the attack on the harbor. Schley remained afloat through that attack. She survived the war. When the fighting ended, the hull was still afloat.
