The USS Trippe was a sloop purchased by The U.S. Navy in 1812, formerly named the Contractor.  It was renamed for Naval officer John Trippe and carried a 35-man crew and mounted one 32-pdr. long gun.  Purchased on the Niagara River, New York, it converted into a man-of-war by noted naval architect Henry Eckford.

Its first commander was Lt. Thomas Stevens.
