SS Reliance was one of a pair of transatlantic steam ocean liners that were launched in 1914 in Germany for the Hamburg America Line (HAPAG), sold to a Dutch shipping line in 1916, and seized by the United States as World War I reparations in 1922. United American Lines (UAL) operated her until 1926, when HAPAG bought her back.

Reliance was launched as Johann Heinrich Burchard. Her Dutch operator renamed her Limburgia. UAL renamed her Reliance. Her sister ship was Resolute.

A fire gutted Reliance in 1938, and her wreck was scrapped in 1941.
