USS Waukegan (YTM-755) was a Chicopee-class medium harbor tug of the United States Navy. It began its life in the U.S. Army as LT-1968 in 1954. The Navy acquired the tug in September 1964, renamed it Waukegan, and gave it hull number YTM-755.

It ran on a diesel engine with a single propeller and could reach about 12 knots. The crew consisted of 16. In September 1975 it was taken out of service and struck from the Navy list. It was sold on June 1, 1976; its current status is unknown.
