The GWR 360 Class was a series of 12 0-6-0 freight steam locomotives designed by Joseph Armstrong for the Great Western Railway and built at Swindon Works in 1866.

The 360 Class was a small series of twelve 0-6-0 steam freight locomotives designed by Joseph Armstrong and constructed at Swindon Works in 1866. The locomotives were assigned running numbers 360 to 369, 1015, and 1001. Compared to the later and more numerous 388 Class, which entered production later that same year, the 360 Class featured slightly smaller boilers and a coupled wheelbase that was two inches shorter.

Initially, these locomotives operated on routes between Birmingham and Chester, but they were later deployed in South Wales, Didcot, and the Birmingham–Stourbridge area. Withdrawals began in 1918 and continued until 1933. The final locomotive to be retired was No. 363, which had accumulated a total of 1,384,645 miles over its 70-year service life.
