The Palestine Railways P class was a type of standard gauge mixed traffic steam locomotive on Palestine Railways and its successor Israel Railways. The Palestine railway introduced the class in 1935 and Israel Railways withdrew the last ones in 1960. Palestine Railways was founded in 1920 to operate all railways in the League of Nations Mandate of Palestine, and its mainstay locomotives were 50 H class 4-6-0s built by Baldwin in Pennsylvania in 1918. In 1935 it bought six new 4-6-0 tender locomotives from the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, Scotland, and designated them class P. All six were scrapped in about 1960, but the tender of number 62 is preserved at the Israel Railway Museum in Haifa.
