The NF210 was a diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division for service with Canadian National Railways narrow gauge network on the island of Newfoundland (see Newfoundland Railway).

The design was based on the earlier NF110 locomotives, also built for CNR in Newfoundland. The engines were some of the very few 42-inch gauge locomotives in North America. Thirty-eight were built between 1956 and 1960. The last examples were retired in 1989 and afterwards six example were preserved in non-operating condition across Newfoundland. Eleven examples were exported to Chile, eight to Nicaragua, and two to Nigeria.
