The SS Sołdek was a Polish coal and ore freighter ship. She was the first ship built in Poland after World War II and the first sea-going ship completed in Poland. She was the first of twenty nine ships classed as Project B30, built in 1949 - 1954 in Stocznia Gdańska (Gdańsk Shipyard). The name was given in honour of Stanisław Sołdek, one of the shipyard's prominent workers.
The ship is currently preserved as a museum ship in Gdańsk.
