HMS Kashmir was a British cargo liner built during World War I for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O)'s Far Eastern routes.

She collided with the troopship HMS Otranto in 1918 which subsequently ran aground on the Isle of Islay with great loss of life.

Both ships attempted to avoid the collision, but their efforts cancelled out and Kashmir rammed Otranto on the port side amidships, a few miles off the rocky coast of Islay.

[3] The collision badly damaged Kashmir's bow and the heavy seas and high winds quickly separated the two ships.

[4] After she was repaired, Kashmir was loaned to the French to repatriate prisoners of war and then to transport British troops between France and the UK.

Kashmir was refloated and repaired, but she was later deemed obsolete by her owners and sold for £14,400 to the Japanese scrap dealer T. Okushoji on 31 July 1932.
