The WAGR T class was a class of Cape gauge diesel-electric shunting locomotives built by Tulloch Limited and operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR).

The first five members of the class were fitted with two 250 hp (190 kW) traction motors connected in parallel to a Brush 550 hp (410 kW) main generator. Two further batches of five followed them; these locomotives, designated as the TA class, had uprated 600 hp (450 kW) main generators.
