The LCDR B class was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway. The class was designed by William Kirtley and introduced in 1876.{{cite book| last=Bradley| first=D.L.| title=The Locomotive History of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway| page=12| publisher=Ian Allan| year=1979| isbn=0901115479| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8hmBAAAACAAJ&q=%22The+Locomotive+History+of+the+London,+Chatham+and+Dover+Railway%22}}

The locomotives passed to the South Eastern and Chatham Railway in 1899. And given new boilers between 1899 and 1903. They were all withdrawn and scrapped between 1912 and 1915.
