USS PGM-5 was a PGM-1 class motor gunboat that served in the United States Navy during World War II. She was originally laid down as an SC-497 class submarine chaser on 14 May 1942 by the Wilmington Boat Works in Wilmington, California and launched on 2 November 1942. She was commissioned as USS SC-1056 on 15 June 1943. She was later converted to a PGM-1 class motor gunboat and renamed PGM-5 on 10 December 1943. After the war she was transferred to the Foreign Liquidations Commission on 7 May 1947. Her exact fate is unknown.
