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.
