LNER Class Y11 was a class of three petrol powered 0-4-0 locomotives built by Motor Rail & Tram Car Company Limited under their Simplex brand and introduced in the years 1919–1925. Two were inherited by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at its formation in January 1923, and a third was purchased later. Their British Railways numbers were 15097-15099. It was known as LNER Z6 before 1943.
