The Peninsula Princess is a single ended roll-on/roll-off vehicle ferry owned by Peninsula Searoad Transport of Victoria, Australia. It operated between the heads of Port Phillip Bay between the towns of Queenscliff and Sorrento from 1987 to 1993. It was replaced by the MV Queenscliff.

In 2004 the ferry was sighted docked in the Tamar River in Launceston, Tasmania. In July 2008 the Peninsula Princess was bought back into service on the Queenscliff - Sorrento route, when one of the larger ferries was in dry dock.

In 2009 the ferry temporarily operated the Bruny Island Ferry route, replacing the Mirambeena while it underwent maintenance.

The ferry has operated the Queenscliff - Sorrento route when the MV Queenscliff underwent a refit and maintenance in mid-2011 and again in July and August 2013.
