The Midland Railway (MR) 2441 Class was a class of steam locomotive. Introduced by Samuel Johnson in 1899, originally with round-topped fireboxes. Henry Fowler later rebuilt them with Belpaire firebox. They were given the power classification 3F. The LMS Fowler Class 3F of 1924 was based on this design.
Sixty locomotives passed into British Railways ownership in 1948 and were numbered 47200-47259.
All were scrapped, though several later LMS locomotives have survived.
