USS C. P. Williams (1861) was a mortar schooner acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used for various purposes, but, especially for bombardment because of her large {{convert|13|in|mm|abbr=on}} mortar that could fire up and over tall riverbanks.

Purchased in New York City in 1861

C. P. Williams was purchased by the Navy Department at New York City on September 2, 1861; fitted out as a mortar schooner; commissioned on January 21, 1862, Acting Master A. R. Langthorne in command; and reported to the Mortar Flotilla in the Mississippi River.

Civil War service

Assigned to the Mississippi Mortar Flotilla

From March 13-July 17, 1862, C. P. Williams cruised the lower Mississippi River, joining in the bombardments of Forts Jackson and St. Philip, Louisiana from April 18–23, and Vicksburg, Mississippi from June 27 – July 3 as well as blockading Berwick Bay.

Reassigned to the South Atlantic Blockade

C. P. Williams sailed north on July 17 for repairs at Baltimore, Maryland in September–October. On November 9, she joined the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron at Port Royal, South Carolina. She was engaged in the Battle of Legareville. During the remainder of the war, she patrolled the rivers and sounds of the area, fired in the bombardments of forts, covered landing parties, and engaged detachments of Confederate cavalry ashore.

End-of-war decommissioning and sale

On June 9, 1865, C. P. Williams cleared Charleston, South Carolina, for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, arriving on the 19th. She was decommissioned on June 27 and sold on August 10.
