The NZR DSJ class is a type of diesel-electric shunting locomotive used in New Zealand. The class has a very similar overall design to the DSG class, but is instead single-engined, has a cab that is offset from the centre, and is both shorter and lighter than its twin-engined counterpart. The first DSJ was assembled in Japan, with the remaining four assembled at the former Addington Workshops in Christchurch.

With only 5 members in this class, it represents one of the smaller contingents of shunt locomotives in current use.
