The NZR A class of 1873 consisted of three types of steam locomotives used on New Zealand's railway network of similar specification but differing detail.

Remarks: Described as "a most absurd-looking dwarf" or "a mere mite, a veritable toy Locomotive", they did surprisingly good work in branch-line and shunting duties. Once written off by NZR, they were put to good use by collieries, timber mills, freezing works, and harbour boards.

The NZR A class were a class of steam locomotives built in 1906 with a 4-6-2 wheel arrangement for the New Zealand Railways Department (NZR). The class should not be confused with the older and more obscure A class of 1873.
