USS ''Banshee'' (1862) was a large steamship “blockade runner” that was captured by the Union Navy and converted to Navy use during the American Civil War.

Her transatlantic maiden voyage, in April 1863, was a "first" for a steel-hulled ship, though her innovative construction proved troublesome in service. During the next seven months, ''Banshee'' was very successful in her intended trade, making seven round-trip voyages between Bermuda or the Bahamas and Wilmington, North Carolina. Future New York shipping magnate F.W.J. Hurst was second in command of the ship on these runs.〔Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, “(From Pinafores to Politics ),” (Henry Holt & Co., 1923) ASIN B00085GSYO (available in the ( National American Woman Suffrage Association Collection, Library of Congress ) and accessed July 31, 2010).〕 She was captured by and the U.S. Army Transport ''Fulton'' on November 21, 1863, while en route to Wilmington.
