USS Demand (AMc-74) was an Accentor-class coastal minesweeper acquired by the U.S. Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing.

Demand was launched by the Gibbs Gas Engine Co., Jacksonville, Florida, on 22 May 1941.

She was placed in service on 5 September 1941 for duty in the 3d Naval District and in the 6th Naval District.

Demand was stricken from the Navy List on 5 December 1945.
