SS Warrimoo was a passenger and refrigerated cargo liner that was launched in 1892 in England for Australian owners, was later owned by two of New Zealand's foremost shipping companies, and finally belonged to a Singaporean company.

Warrimoo was the subject of a claim that she crossed the intersection of the International Date Line and the Equator precisely at the turn of the year from 1899 to 1900.

Warrimoo was a troop ship in the First World War. In 1918 the French destroyer Catapulte collided with Warrimoo in the Mediterranean. In the collision some of Catapulte's depth charges broke loose and fell into the sea, where they detonated and sank both ships.
