SS Lancing was a Norwegian whale factory ship, originally the British merchant ship Knight Errant. The ship passed through a number of owners, being named Rio Tiete, Omsk, Calanda, and Flackwell at different stages in her career. She was sunk off Cape Hatteras on 7 April 1942 by the German submarine U-552.
