USS Youngstown (CL-94) was to have been a United States Navy Cleveland-class light cruiser. She was laid down 4 September 1944. Because of the end of hostilities in the Pacific, the contract was cancelled 12 August 1945, when the ship was slightly more than half completed, and she was scrapped on the ways in 1946.
She was to be named after Youngstown, Ohio, a city in Northeast Ohio. As of 2007, no other ships have carried this name.
