The MV Victorian Reliance is a cargo ship operated by Toll Shipping in Australia. It is primarily used on Bass Strait between Melbourne, Victoria and Burnie, Tasmania, along with sister ship MV Tasmanian Achiever. Originally ordered by Brambles Limited, the ship was acquired by Toll with the purchase of Brambles' shipping busieness in 2002.^[2] When CMA CGM, parent company of Australian National Line, withdrew the Bass Trader from the Melbourne to Bell Bay route in 2009, it entered into a joint venture to transfer cargo to the Toll ships.^[3] As such it carries both Toll and ANL logos and the operator is sometimes quoted as "Toll ANL".

In 2019 it will be replaced by the larger MV Victorian Reliance II.
