USS Alfred Wolf (DE-544) was a proposed ship in the United States Navy. She was never completed.

The name Alfred Wolf was assigned to the John C. Butler-class destroyer escort, DE-544, on 26 October 1943. Her keel was laid at the Boston Navy Yard on 9 December 1943. However, due to changes in wartime shipping construction priorities, work was suspended on the ship on 10 June 1944 and canceled altogether on 5 September 1944. Subsequently, the incomplete hulk was broken up on the building ways.
