TransPennine Trains Limited, trading as TransPennine Express (TPE), is a state-owned British train operating company that runs regional and inter-city rail services between the major cities and towns of Northern England and Scotland.

The company, which is owned by DfT Operator, has been the holder of the TransPennine Express franchise since May 2023. It was established following poor performance by the previous privately owned operator, also called TransPennine Express, from whom it carried over rolling stock, passenger services, and branding.
