SS Fultala was a British India Steam Navigation Company (BI) steamship. She was built in England in 1890, operated mostly in the Indian Ocean, and was scrapped in India in 1923. She was a troop ship in the Second Boer War and the First World War. From 1901 to 1906 she took Indian indentured labourers to Fiji.
She was the first of three BI ships to be called Fultala. The second was a motor ship that was built in 1940 and sunk in 1942. The third was a steamship that was built in 1948 and sold in 1961.
