The L&YR Class 26 was a class of 2-6-2T steam locomotives of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. It was designed by Henry Hoy and introduced in 1903. Twenty locomotives were built but 3 were withdrawn in 1922, so 17 passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway at the grouping in 1923.
All had been withdrawn and scrapped by 1926: only two (11704 and 11711) received their LMS number. None have been preserved.
