This is the list of preserved British industrial steam locomotives. This list does not contain preserved Fireless locomotives, for a list of preserved Fireless locomotives, visit List of fireless steam locomotives preserved in Britain. Notable locomotives that weren't initially intended for industrial railway service but worked on them (e.g. Furness Railway No. 20, later Barrow Steelworks) will also be included as their rebuilding/resale classified them as industrial-employed steam locomotives.

Use of these locomotives Private companies like Manning, Wardle & Company were building locomotives as early as 1858 when E.B. Wilson and Company closed. Later located themselves at Boyne Engine Works (1840) in Jack Lane. Within the next few years, Hunslet Engine Company and Hudswell Clarke moved in besides Manning Wardle. One of Manning Wardle's oldest recorded locomotives was Sidlesham, an ex-industrial 0-6-0ST later used on West Sussex Railway. There were also companies as old or older, Kitson & Company, formerly Todd, Kitson and Laird, formed in 1838.

Preserved locomotives Over one hundred industrial tank engines have survived into preservation, from over ten different manufacturers, ranging from small to big numbers. Most of these locomotives were bought for preservation from industrial service or private use.
