Class 120 or HellasSprinter is the first class of electric locomotives of the Hellenic Railways Organisation. A total of 30 locomotives were built in two batches between 1996 and 2005.

Class 120 locomotives are based on the EuroSprinter "ES 64 P" prototype, which was adapted for a lower power of (5,000 kW/6,700 hp), a lower weight of 80 tonnes and electric components suitable for the Greek 25 kV AC - 50 Hz system.[1]

These locomotives currently operate on the electrified sections Thessaloniki-Idomeni and Thessaloniki-Larissa-Domokos, hauling freight and passenger trains.
