The SJ Class Ra (or Rapid) is an electric locomotive operated by Swedish State Railways (Swedish: Statens Järnvägar, SJ).

Ten units were built by ASEA, two in 1955 and eight in 1961.

During the 1940s SJ had a need for quicker locomotives for their express trains.

Inspiration for the appearance came from North America, with round shapes and a bulldog nose.

In 2012, Ra 988 was sold by the Swedish Railway Museum in 2012 and was sold to Svensk Tågkraft and is still in service.
