The London and North Eastern Railway Class J38 was a class of steam locomotive designed for freight work. 35 were built and they were used in Scotland.

The J39 was a later development, exchanging the J38's 4'8" driving wheels with larger 5'2", 289 J39s being built. Some of the J38s were later rebuilt with J39 boilers.

All J38s were withdrawn between 1962 and 1967, with none surviving the cutter's torch.
