USS William M. Wood (DE-287) was a proposed United States Navy Rudderow-class destroyer escort that was never built.

Sources differ on William M. Wood's planned builder; plans called for either Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard at Hingham, Massachusetts[1][3][4][5] or the Charleston Navy Yard at Charleston, South Carolina[2] to build her. The contract for her construction was cancelled on 12 March 1944 before construction could begin.

The name William M. Wood was transferred to the destroyer escort USS William M. Wood (DE-557).
