USS O-5 (SS-66), also known as "Submarine No. 66", was one of 16 O-class submarines of the United States Navy commissioned during World War I.

O-5 was sunk by a collision near the Panama Canal, on 28 October 1923, resulting in the loss of three lives. Lying in 42 ft (13 m) of water with two men still onboard, O-5 was successful raised shortly after noon the following day, saving the two men. The submarine was decommissioned and subsequently sold for scrap.
