Kelas Essex class adalah tipe kapal induk yang dimiliki oleh Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat di abad ke-20. Kelas ini terdiri atas 24 kapal induk, yang terdiri atas tipe "short-hull" dan "long-hull". Sebanyak tiga puluh dua kapal induk dipesan dan selama Perang Dunia II selesai, maka enam dari pesanan tersebut dibatalkan pada saat pembuatannya belum dimulai. Semua kapal induk kelas ini tidak ada yang pernah ditenggelamkan selama perang walaupun ada beberapa yang mengalami kerusakan serius. Kapal tipe ini merupakan tulang punggung Angkatan Perang Amerika Serikat selama Perang Dunia II, mulai dari pertengahan tahun 1943-an dengan penambahan beberapa tipe lainnya.
