NK Lokomotiva Zagreb is a Croatian football club based in the city of Zagreb.

Founded in 1914, the club managed their best league result in 1952, finishing third in the Yugoslav First League. They were relegated from the First League in the summer of 1957 and never returned to the top flight again.

Lokomotiva is now playing in the Western Division of the Croatian Third League. The club is nowadays generally considered Dinamo Zagreb's reserve team, with many of Dinamo's young players playing there to gain experience before being promoted to the first team.
