The NSB El 8 was a Norwegian electric locomotive which was built between 1940 and 1949.

Although fast, the El 8 did not have bogies, making it rather stiff in the turns, a problem which was remedied with the introduction of the NSB El 11 and NSB El 13.

There were 16 El 8 engines produced.

Four manufacturers were involved in building it: AEG, Norsk Elektrisk & Brown Boveri, Per Kure and Thune.

The last El 8 was retired in 1987.
