USS Arthur W. Radford (DD-968) was a Spruance-class destroyer in the United States Navy.

She was named for Admiral Arthur W. Radford USN (1896–1973), the first naval officer to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Arthur W. Radford was laid down 31 January 1974 by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Division of Litton Industries at Pascagoula, Mississippi and launched on 1 March 1975,[b] sponsored by Mrs. Arthur Radford, the admiral's widow. Arthur W. Radford was commissioned on 16 April 1977,[3] and decommissioned on 18 March 2003, after serving 26 years.[4] On 10 August 2011, her hull was scuttled off the coast of Delaware, to form part of an artificial reef.
