SS Peleus was a steam merchant ship built in 1928 by William Gray & Company of West Hartlepool.
Originally named Egglestone, she was acquired by E. E. Hadjilias, Syros and renamed after Pēleús (Greek: Πηλεύς), the mythical King of Aegina, and father of Achilles. Peleus was sold in 1933 to the Nereus Steam Navigation company. She had an uneventful career in peacetime, until the Second World War. She worked under charter for the British government during the war, and operated in the South Atlantic, until her loss in March 1944 when she was torpedoed and sunk by U-852.
