Cromartyshire was an iron-hulled sailing cargo ship that was launched in Scotland in 1879. She was named after the county of Cromartyshire in the Scottish Highlands.
In 1898 she survived a collision with the French transatlantic liner La Bourgogne, which sank with great loss of life. Cromartyshire also survived a fire off Cape Colony in 1901. She was wrecked on the coast of Chile in 1906.
