The Great Eastern Railway (GER) Class Y14 is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive. The LNER classified them J15. Number 65462 survives.

The Class Y14 were designed by T.W. Worsdell for both freight and passenger duties and the class was nick-named 'the maid of all work'. They were first introduced in July 1883 and forty such engines served abroad in 1917.

In 1891, the workshops of the Great Eastern Railway at Stratford built a Class Y14 (J15) from scratch and had it in steam in a mere 9 hours 47 minutes.
