The BVG Class C was a series of Grossprofil (wide profile) cars used on the Berlin U-Bahn after 1926. In comparison to the previously built Class B, these 18 meter long cars were about five meters longer than their predecessors. They were therefore classified as Langwagen (long cars).

At the time of their introduction, these cars represented the most modern cars in the Berlin subway network and therefore served as the prototype for the Class A cars of the Moscow Metro. Due to the technical similarities between the Berlin and Moscow subway systems, 120 cars were sent to the Soviet Union after World War II as reparations.

The Class C was in service in the USSR until 1965 and in Berlin until 1975.
