The London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LT&SR) 2100 Class was a class of 4-6-4T steam locomotives. Eight were built in 1912 to the design of Robert Harben Whitelegg, as the Midland Railway took over the LT&SR. Hence, they were numbered 2100–2107 in the Midland system with the 3P power classification. None received a name. All subsequently passed into LMS ownership in 1923 and were all withdrawn and scrapped between 1929 and 1934.
