The Allen M. Sumner class of destroyers was built by the United States during World War II.

The first ship was laid down in July 1943, while the last was launched in December 1944. In that time the United States produced 58 Allen M. Sumner-class destroyers. The Sumner class, as it is sometimes called, was based upon the previous Fletcher class, which were built from 1941 until 1944. In addition to the 3 twin 5"/38cal mounts, Sumners had twin rudders, giving them better maneuverability for ASW work when compared to Fletchers.

See also the Robert H. Smith-class destroyer minelayer (DML), all of which were built on hulls originally intended as Sumners.
