The MV Kenilworth is a historic passenger ferry, now used on a ferry service on the Firth of Clyde in Scotland. She was built in 1936, as the MV Hotspur II, for use as a passenger ferry on the Hythe Ferry service across Southampton Water in England.

In 1978 the Hotspur II was bought by Clyde Marine Motoring and renamed Kenilworth after the novel Kenilworth by Walter Scott. Since then she has served on the Gourock — Kilcreggan — Helensburgh ferry service across the Firth of Clyde and the Gare Loch.

Occasionally the company, now part of Clyde Marine Services Ltd., uses other ships on the run, often The Second Snark which also serves on cruises.

One of the Kenilworth's half-sisters, the Hotspur IV, still exists and is used as reserve boat on the Hythe Ferry service.
