The MV Kaleetan is a Super Class ferry in the Washington State Ferry System. The Kaleetan is named for a mountain peak northwest of Snoqualmie Pass.

As of mid 2007, the boat operates on the Anacortes/San Juan Islands route. The boat will typically operate the northern route in the summer and then move to the more southern Seattle/Bremerton route for the rest of the year.
