SS Statendam was a transatlantic ocean liner that was launched in Ireland in 1898 for Holland America Line (Nederlandsch-Amerikaansche Stoomvaart Maatschappij, or NASM). She was the first of several ships in the company's history to be called Statendam. She was NASM's first ship of more than 10,000 GRT, and she was the largest ship in the company's fleet until Potsdam was completed in 1900.

In 1911 Allan Line bought the ship and renamed her Scotian. Canadian Pacific took over Allan Line in 1916, and renamed the ship Marglen in 1922. She was scrapped in Italy in 1927.
