MV Spreewald was a Hamburg America Line (HAPAG) cargo motor ship that was launched in 1922 and sunk in a friendly fire incident in 1942. She was renamed Anubis in 1935, and reverted to her original name Spreewald in 1939.
This was the second of three HAPAG ships named after the Spreewald district of Lusatia. The first was a steamship that was launched in 1907, captured in 1914, and was converted into the submarine depôt ship HMS Lucia. The third was a motor ship that was completed in 1951 and scrapped in 1979.
