The London and North Western Railway (LNWR) 2665 "Prince of Wales Tank" were a class of 47 superheated 4-6-2 tank engine steam locomotives that were built for the LNWR by Crewe Works from 1910 to 1916. They were used on suburban and passenger services over steep graded rail lines.

They were passed into the ownership of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) on the 1923 grouping. The LMS renumbered them 6950–6996 and gave them the power classification 4P.

Withdrawals of the class from active service started in 1935 and by 1941, they were all scrapped leaving no examples to be preserved.
