The SZD Class AA20 was a one-off experimental 4-14-4 steam locomotive constructed in the Soviet Union by Krupp and the Voroshilovgrad Locomotive Factory in 1934 for the Sovetskie Zheleznye Dorogi (SŽD). Two locomotives were set to be built, but due to the construction of the railway's more powerful FD Class, only AA20-1 was built, leaving the second AA20 incomplete.
