MV Lady Odiel, often written as MV Lady Odile, originally named MV Kalmarsund IX and later also renamed into MV Jomfruland, was a Swedish-built 487 GRT cargo ship in 1957 for Swedish company Angbats A/B Kalmarsund. She was acquired in 1964 by Swedish Andersson, AE, Rönnäng and in 1981 by the British Odiel Shipping Company.
On 20 October 1984, she sank northwest of Terschelling. The captain survived, but four of the five people on board drowned. The captain was rescued by the Polish ship Nicolai Rej. A search operation only started in the afternoon on the day after the disaster due to poor reporting of the disaster by the captain of the Nicolai Rej. All bodies were found up to a year after the disaster. Identification was concluded 2.5 years after the disaster in April 1987.
