The GWR 322 Class tank engines comprised six Great Western Railway outside-framed 0-6-0 steam locomotives, originally built by Beyer, Peacock, and Company as 322 class tender engines and subsequently rebuilt in 1878–85 as saddle tank locomotives by George Armstrong at Wolverhampton Works.

They were numbered in sequence as 322–327, with No. 323 having exchanged numbers with No. 359, No. 325 with No.337 and No. 327 with No. 366.
