NSB BM64 is an electric railcar that was operated by Norges Statsbaner between 1934 and 1985. Three units were manufactured by Strømmen and Norsk Elektrisk & Brown Boveri in 1934. Two units have been preserved by the Norwegian Railway Association on Gamle Vossebanen. Prior to 1956 the railcars were numbered 18 505-507, after which they were renumbered 64.05-64.07.

The three cars where each built with one carriage for use on Hardangerbanen, the first of NSB's mainline railways to open electrified. Because of the low traffic on Hardangerbanen, and the lack of electrification at the time on Bergensbanen, the BM64 where built explicit for the line. They where also sometimes used on Flåmsbana. The BM64 remained in service until Hardangerbanen was closed in 1985, except for 64.05 that was retired in 1982.cite book |first=Nils Carl |last=Aspenberg |authorlink=Nils Carl Aspenberg |title=Elektrolok i Norge |year=2001 |publisher=Baneforlaget |location=Oslo |language=Norwegian |isbn=82-91448-42-6]
