The DSB Class F are a class of Danish 0-6-0T steam locomotives, of which 120 were built between 1898 and 1949 for the DSB (Danske Statsbaner (Danish State Railways)).

These locomotive supplemented and replaced the smaller Class Hs and was used for shunting at almost every station on the DSB network. Between 1930 and 1945, the Class F was supplemented by 15 Class Q 0-8-0T locomotives. The last 15 Class F locomotives were delivered by Frichs to DSB in 1949.[2]
