The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) E2 class was a class of ten 0-6-0 T steam locomotives designed by Lawson Billinton, generally employed for shunting, piloting duties in Victoria station, empty-stock duties and local goods trains.

Introduced in 1913, the E2 class were the first of Billinton's own designs for the LB&SCR, built to replace some of the early Stroudley E1 goods engines. With the advantage of improved boiler feeds the E2 class were less restricted in their activities than the E1 class. However, the first five members of the class suffered from inadequate water capacity. Despite this, this class was a success as shunters and local goods traffic, therefore a second batch of another five slightly modified ones was built.
