The KiHa E130 series (キハE130系気動車?) is a DMU type operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) on the Suigun Line between Mito and Kōriyama. 13 single-car units and 13 two-car units were introduced from January 2007, totally replacing the KiHa 110 series DMUs previously used on this line by September of the same year.
The single-car (KiHa E130) units have red colouring on the sides, while the two-car (KiHa E131 + KiHa E132) units have turquoise colouring. The doors and cab end panels of both types are yellow.
