USS Dash (MSO-428) was an Agile-class minesweeper commissioned by the United States Navy in 1953. Designed for clearing naval mines, she served primarily along the U.S. East Coast and in the Mediterranean as part of the 6th Fleet during the Cold War.

After over two decades of service, she was decommissioned in 1971 and later struck from the Naval Vessel Register.
