The Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) BR 18 616 is a German steam locomotive that was rebuilt in 1956 from the original by the Henschel & Son locomotive works in Kassel, Germany. It was one of the last steam locomotives built for the Deutsche Bundesbahn, which was the national railway of West Germany from 1949 to 1993.

The BR 18 616 was a powerful express passenger locomotive that could reach speeds of up to 110 km/h (68 mph). It was used primarily on long-distance passenger trains, such as the Rheingold and the FD (Fernschnellzug, or long-distance express), which ran between major cities in West Germany.

The locomotive had a distinctive streamlined design, with a curved front and streamlined casing covering the boiler and the smokebox. It was painted in the traditional Deutsche Bundesbahn livery.

The BR 18 616 was retired from regular service in the 1970s.
