The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Thompson Class O1 was a class of 2-8-0 steam locomotive designed for freight work. None has survived to preservation.

Because of wartime restrictions on new-build locomotives, they were rebuilds of LNER Class O4 "ROD" 2-8-0s built during World War I, although most of the locomotive was replaced during this rebuild. The first rebuild took place in February 1944, and 58 locomotives were rebuilt to class O1 in total. The program was halted after nationalisation.
