The A10 Fairlie class steam locomotive is a 2-4-0 locomotive of the Queensland Railways (QR).
The locomotives operated on 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge. The “A”, is used to identify the number of coupled wheels, being four coupled wheels for the A10 class, followed by numerals indicating the cylinder diameter of ten inches.
They were described as "A10 Fairlies" (because they were ordered from the Fairlie Engine Company) but they were not Fairlie articulated locomotives.
