SS Egerland was an oil tanker used by the German Navy in World War II. As the SS North America it was ordered from Deutsche Werft Finkenwerder for the Panama Transport Company as in July 1940, for transatlantic shipments to Germany. In March 1941, it was decided to transfer ownership to the Texas Oil Company. In 1941, the tanker was requisitioned by the Kriegsmarine, renamed to Egerland and converted to a support ship of the Trossschiffverband der Kriegsmarine (Zweigstelle West) ("Naval Supply Ship Unit, Western Section") for naval operations in the Atlantic. On the first mission in June 1941, to support commerce raiding by the German battleship Bismarck and the cruiser Prinz Eugen, the ship encountered the British heavy cruiser HMS London on 6 June and was scuttled to avoid capture.
