The Nihongo|"Tōkai"|東海 was a limited express service which connected Tokyo Station and Shizuoka Station in Japan. The service was discontinued in March 2007 due to declining passenger numbers.

Before its upgrading in 1996 to become the limited express "Wide View Tōkai" with new 373 series EMU trainsets, the train was operated as an ordinary express train.
