The Natal Railway 0-4-0 WT Natal of 1858 was a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Natal Colony.

The first locomotive to run in revenue service in South Africa, the Natal Railway Company's engine Natal, was landed at Durban Harbour on 13 May 1858. It made its inaugural run on 26 June 1858, during the official opening of the first operating railway in South Africa.
