The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway E3 Class is a type of 0-6-2T steam locomotive. Seventeen were built and they were designed by R. J. Billinton.

All were rebuilt with new boilers and extended smokeboxes from 1918 and some had increased boiler pressure. Cylinder diameter was reduced from 18" to 17½" by the Southern Railway.

British Railways numbers were 32165-32170 and 32453-32462. The final E3 was withdrawn in 1957 and none survived into preservation.
