TSS City of Belfast was a passenger steamship that was built in England in 1893, renamed Nicolaos Togias in 1925, renamed Kephallinia in 1933 and sank in 1941. She was owned and registered in Britain until 1925, when she passed to Greek owners.

As City of Belfast, the ship was an armed boarding steamer for most of the First World War. As Kephallinia, she foundered during the Second World War en route from Alexandria to Tobruk.
