The North British Atlantic, later known as NBR Class H, and then as LNER Class C11 was a class of 4-4-2 steam locomotive of the North British Railway. The class was designed by William P. Reid, Locomotive Superintendent of the NBR, and entered service under his direction. They were the heaviest, longest, and most powerful (by tractive effort) locomotives ever employed on the North British Railway.

The locomotives passed to the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923. They had a long service life, but most were withdrawn during 1936 and 1937, with none surviving into the nationalized British Railways system.

The NBR Class I, later known as LNER Class C10, was a temporary designation of some engines in this class (see below).
