The Forfarshire was a British paddle steamer that sank on 2 January 1857 near the coast of Anstruther, Fife, Scotland, after striking rocks in a storm. The wreck resulted in the loss of 185 lives, making it one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in Scottish history; it was also carrying a cargo of coal and general goods.
