SS Aquileia was a Dutch-built steamship that was launched in 1913 as the ocean liner and mail ship Prins der Nederlanden for Netherland Line. She ran scheduled services between Amsterdam and the Dutch East Indies until 1930, when she was laid up.

In 1935 Lloyd Triestino bought her and renamed her Aquileia. In the Second Italo-Ethiopian War and the Spanish Civil War she was an Italian troop ship. In the Second World War she was a hospital ship for Italy and then for Germany. In 1944, German forces scuttled her as a blockship. Her wreck was raised in 1946 and scrapped in 1947.

The ship's Italian name is spelt Aquileia. However, Lloyd's Register always recorded her as Aquileja. Prins der Nederlanden has been the name of several ships. The career of this one overlaps with that of a smaller Prins der Nederlanden that was built in 1902 for Koninklijke West-Indische Maildienst (KWIM, the "Royal West India Mail Service") and scrapped in 1927.
