The Great Western Railway (GWR) 4400 Class was a class of 2-6-2T side tank steam locomotive. They were introduced in 1904 for work on small branch lines. The 4500 class was a later development with larger driving wheels. The 4400s were particularly used in hilly districts, notably the Princetown and Much Wenlock Branches. All were withdrawn and scrapped between 1949 and 1955.
