L’USS St. Lo (CVE–63) était un porte-avions d'escorte de la classe Casablanca de l'US Navy durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Lancé le 23 janvier 1943 aux chantiers de Chapin Bay et nommé Midway, il fut lancé le 17 août 1943 et entra en service le 23 octobre 1943 sous le commandement du capitaine F. J. McKenna. Il fut renommé St. Lo le 10 octobre 1944 en mémoire de la dure bataille que les Américains livrèrent dans cette ville lors de la bataille de Normandie

Le 25 octobre 1944, lors de la bataille du golfe de Leyte après avoir été la cible du cuirassé Nagato qui le manqua, le St. Lo devint le premier navire de guerre important coulé par une attaque kamikaze, sans doute par le pilote japonais Yukio Seki.
