SS Dordogne was a steam powered oil tanker that served the French Navy, formerly the British merchant ship SS San Isidoro of the Eagle Oil Transport Company. Weetman Pearson, 1st Viscount Cowdray, founded Eagle Oil in 1912 to carry oil from his Mexican Eagle Petroleum Company's fields in Mexico to the United Kingdom, and the company ordered a fleet of twenty tankers from British shipyards, including the sister ships San Isidoro and San Onofre from Armstrong Whitworth at Hebburn on the River Tyne. The French government bought San Isidoro in the year she was launched and renamed her Dordogne. She was scuttled at Brest in the Fall of France on 18 June 1940.
