USS Santa Fe was a Cleveland-class light cruiser of the United States Navy, which were built during World War II.

The Clevelands carried a main battery of twelve 6-inch (152 mm) guns in four three-gun turrets, along with a secondary armament of twelve 5 in (127 mm) dual-purpose guns. They had a top speed of 32.5 knots.
