The SŽ series 363 is a class of 3 kV DC electric locomotives operated by Slovenian Railways (Slovene: Slovenske železnice, SŽ).
They were built in 1975-1977 by the French manufacturer Alstom. They have the Co-Co wheel configuration. Their distinctive French styled bodywork led to them acquiring the nickname "Brižita" (English: "Brigitte") after the French actress Brigitte Bardot. Most 363 series locomotives bear the standard red and white livery of SŽ, but 363-005 has been repainted back into the original mustard yellow/brown/green colour scheme. They share their "Nez Cassé" body design with SNCF Class BB 15000 and NS Class 1600, with their traction engines adapted for the Italian-developed 3KV DC catenary.
