The Caledonian Railway 812 Class is a class of 0-6-0 tender steam locomotives engines designed by John F. McIntosh. It featured the boiler from the 721 "Dunalastair" Class 4-4-0s.

One, 828 (BR 57566) is the sole survivor of the class and is a very important example of Scottish Industrial Heritage. It is currently undergoing a £190,000 overhaul at the Strathspey Railway.

Two fictional 812 class engines appear as Donald and Douglas in The Railway Series.
