Glentanner was an immigrant ship which made two voyages to New Zealand (in 1857 and 1861) as well as many voyages to Australia in the 1840s and 1850s. She was a clipper ship of 610 tons, built in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1842 and originally named Glentanar, that sailed from Gravesend, England, to Lyttelton, Christchurch, New Zealand, carrying immigrants for the Canterbury Provincial Government.

The first journey departed on 11 June 1857 from Gravesend and arrived in Lyttelton on 3 October 1857 with about 194 passengers on board. Joseph Colborne-Veel and his wife were among the passengers.{{cite news |title=Shipping News |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=LT18571007.2.8 |accessdate=22 January 2014 |work=Lyttelton Times |date=7 October 1857 |volume=VIII |issue=514 |page=4}}{{cite news |title=Obituary |url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=CHP19101117.2.28 |accessdate=22 January 2014 |work=The Press |date=17 November 1910 |volume=LXVI |issue=13892 |page=6 |archive-date=9 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141209125457/http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=CHP19101117.2.28 |url-status=live }} The ship was nearly lost when she was thrown on her beam ends during a squall. The second journey departed 24 February 1861 from Gravesend and arrived in Lyttelton on 8 June 1861 with about 24 cabin passengers.

Other journeys included loads of immigrants bound for Australia, and Chinese passengers for British Guiana.

The ship came to an end after leaving the Port of Lyttelton in 1861 on the return trip to the United Kingdom.
