USS Tallahassee (CL-116) was to be a Fargo-class light cruiser of the United States Navy. The ship was laid down on 31 January 1944 at Newport News, Virginia, by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Co., but as the collapse of Japan became apparent, the contract for her construction was cancelled on 12 August 1945, and her hull was scrapped on the ways.
