The NS 5000 was a series of tank engines of Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) and its predecessor Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (SS).

The SS ordered six tank engines for shunting work manufactured by Beyer, Peacock & Company in Manchester, England.

Originally the cab was open, but at the start of World War I the cab was provided with lockable windows.

When the fleets of the HSM and the SS was merged into Nederlandse Spoorwegen in 1921, the locomotives were given the NS numbers 5001–5006.
