Lotniskowce typu Saipan – lotniskowce lekkie floty amerykańskiej podczas II wojny światowej. Ogółem wprowadzono do służby tylko 2 jednostki tego typu. Bazowały na kadłubach ciężkich krążowników typu Baltimore[1]. Po wojnie zostały zmodernizowane. USS „Saipan” został przemianowany na okręt komunikacji radiowej Arlington (AGMR-2), natomiast USS „Wright” – na okręt dowodzenia Wright (CC-2)[1]. W tych rolach okręty służyły do 1970 roku, a następnie zostały wycofane z eksploatacji i oddane na złom w 1980 roku.
