Globe Star was a cargo ship that ran aground on 27 April 1973 along Nyali Reef, just off Mombasa, Kenya.

In November 1973, five personnel involved in a salvage attempt died in hold No.

In 1978, the wreck was demolished by Divecon Ltd, Mombasa, leaving the main engine visible and the remains of the ship less than 10 feet (3.0 m) below the surface.

The Globe Star stranding was attributed to a navigation error, in that the ship approached too close to the harbour entrance prior to picking up a pilot, and having been advised to return to the anchorage, turned to starboard instead of port and ran aground.
