The [[Great Western Railway]] '''Caesar Class''' were {{whyte|0-6-0}} [[broad gauge]] [[steam locomotive]]s. They were designed by [[Daniel Gooch]] for [[goods train]] work. This class was introduced into service between June 1851 and February 1852, and withdrawn between June 1871 and June 1880.

From about 1865, the Caesar Class was expanded to include locomotives formerly known as [[GWR Ariadne Class|Ariadne Class]], [[GWR Caliph Class|Caliph Class]], or [[GWR Pyracmon Class]].
