The Great Northern Railway J14, later classified as J53 under LNER service, was a class of 52 0-6-0ST locomotives designed by Patrick Stirling and built at Doncaster Works by Neilson and Co and between 1892 and 1897.

The J14s were similar to the GNR Class J13 albeit with different boilers and without a steam dome.

Sub Classes

17 J14s were built with condensing equipment for the Metropolitan Railway while a further 10 had them retrofitted in 1900. All of these locomotives had extra lamp irons for Southern Railway running. These were later removed or added when the locomotives moved. Five J14s were rebuilt with G2 0-4-4 boilers (four of these were rebuilt as J13s between 1928 and 1932), while No. 3928 was withdrawn in 1935.
