SS Dundee was a British steamship that was built in Scotland in 1911 and sunk by enemy action in the Celtic Sea in 1917. She was designed as a coastal passenger and cargo liner for the Dundee, Perth & London Shipping Company Ltd, but in 1915 she was converted into an armed boarding steamer for the Royal Navy. She took part in the Action of 16 March 1917, was sunk by a U-boat six months later, and lost members of her crew in both actions.
The Dundee, Perth & London Shipping Co Ltd was founded in 1826. In its long history it had eight ships called Dundee, named after the city of Dundee on the east coast of Scotland. The ship built in 1911 was the fifth of these.
