MV Hannington Court was a cargo ship of the Court Line. Launched in 1954 as part of the company's rebuilding programme after the Second World War, she sailed for a number of years before being sold to an Indian company in 1963 and renamed Gandhi Jayanti. She was again sold in 1967, was renamed Gandhi in 1974, and was scrapped in 1976.
