The LD&ECR Class B (LNER Class J60) was a class of 0-6-0 T steam locomotives of the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway.

Four examples were built in 1897. Three were normally based at Langwith Junction, while the other was at Tuxford. In later years they moved to Wrexham, with one transferring to Gorton as the works shunter.
