The NER Class U (LNER Class N10) was a class of 0-6-2 tank locomotives of the North Eastern Railway. It was designed by Wilson Worsdell and introduced in 1902.^[1]

The locomotives were used for shunting and on goods trains. All were fitted with Westinghouse brakes.

One locomotive was withdrawn in 1948 and the remainder were withdrawn between 1955 and 1962. None is preserved.
