SS Canada was a British ocean liner of the Dominion Line and the first twin-screw steamship to operate between Liverpool and Montreal. She was launched on 14 May 1896, completed that year and began her maiden voyage on 1 October 1896 from Liverpool via Quebec to Montreal. She served as a troopship in the Second Boer War from November 1899 to the autumn of 1902 and again in the First World War from 1914 to 1918. After the war she was refitted with berths for 463 cabin class and 755 third class passengers, and in 1921 she was transferred to the Leyland Line of Liverpool. She arrived at Genoa on 29 September 1926, where she was scrapped by L. Pittaluga.
