SS Bingera was a steamship that provided the mail service between Brisbane, Gladstone and Townsville in Queensland, Australia.

Workman, Clark and Company of Belfast, Ireland built her in 1905 in for the Australian United Steam Navigation Company. She was 2,092 GRT and 300 ft 3 in (91.52 m) long.

Once the railway to Townsville was built in 1926, the mail travelled by rail and the ship was no longer needed. On 28 November 1929 it was abandoned on Bishop Island at the mouth of the Brisbane River (now incorporated into the Port of Brisbane).
