The NZR DL class is a proposed class of locomotives to be built for the New Zealand Government-owned railway operating company, KiwiRail. Once commissioned, they will be the most powerful diesel-electric locomotives in service.

It was previously reported that the class was to be known as the DK class, however KiwiRail have since reclassed it DL, after the builder of the locomotives Dalian Locomotive and Rolling stock. The first locomotive will be numbered DL 9008.

Funding for 20 of the locomotives was approved in March 2009, and they are expected to enter service from August 2010. They will be the first new locomotives to enter service on the New Zealand railway network in more than 20 years.
