SS Fidelitas (former SS Bolton Castle) was an Italian World War II blockade runner. The steamer, escorted by German minesweepers, ran from Biscay through the English Channel in 1942, en route to Rotterdam. She later operated in Norwegian waters, under German flag, before being sunk by RAF aircraft off Ålesund in 1944.
