SS Geronimo (Hull Number 1122) was a Liberty ship built in the United States during World War II. She was named after Geronimo, a Native American warrior who long fought against American settlers in the Old West.
The ship was laid down on 5 May 1943, then launched on 29 May 1943. The ship survived the war only to suffer the same fate as nearly all other Liberty ships; she was scrapped in 1960.
