SS Saint Paul was a trans-Atlantic ocean liner named for the capital of Minnesota.
She was launched on 10 April 1895 by William Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia, as a steel passenger liner. The ship later was chartered for United States Navy service as an auxiliary cruiser from her owner, International Navigation Company, by a board appointed on 12 March 1898; and commissioned on 20 April 1898 for Spanish–American War service, Captain Charles D. Sigsbee in command.
Saint Paul was scrapped in Germany in 1923.
