The British Railways Standard Class 3 2-6-2T was a class of steam locomotive. It was essentially a new engine, based on LMS practice, and having a boiler approximating in size to a GWR "Nº2" boiler, design work being done at ex-GWR works at Swindon. They were based in the Western Region, though some found their way onto the Southern Region.

The 45 engines were numbered 82000-44. None has survived to preservation.
