SS Stanbrook was a British cargo steamship. She was launched in 1909 as Lancer, and was renamed Stanbrook in 1937. She was a blockade runner in the Spanish Civil War, in which she survived a number of Nationalist air attacks. One of these sank her in August 1938, but she was raised and repaired. In March 1939 she was one of the last blockade runners to leave Republican-held Spain before it fell to the Nationalist faction. In November 1939 a German U-boat sank Stanbrook with all hands in the North Sea.
