The South Australian Railways B class was a class of two 2-4-0 steam locomotives ordered from Robert Stephenson and Company in 1856. The first arrived in November 1856 and the second in March 1858, and they entered service on the Gawler and Outer Harbor lines of the South Australian Railways. Both were rebuilt as 2-4-0T tank engines in 1875. In 1887 number 7 was rebuilt by Islington Railway Workshops as a crane locomotive, and number 4 followed in 1893. Both were withdrawn and scrapped in the 1930s.
