Bavarian A V engines were 2-2-2 steam locomotives in service with the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn).

[1] This class was the first express train locomotive with the Bavarian state railways.

Unlike the A IV, the Class A V had a lower-pitched boiler and a wider firebox.

In addition access to the valve gear was improved.

Because engines on the southern side of the Danube were fired with peat, they had a pear-shaped chimney.
