Empire Copperfield was a 6,013 GRT cargo ship that was built in 1943 by William Pickersgill & Sons Ltd, Sunderland, United Kingdom. She was built for the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT), spending much of her war service in the Mediterranean. Towards the end of the war she was serving in the Indian Ocean. In 1946 she was sold into merchant service and renamed Graigwen. A sale to India in 1958 saw her renamed Jag Devi. She served until 1963, when she was scrapped.
