Class 15 is a type of electric locomotive operated by SNCB/NMBS. The locomotives were originally used for cross-border services into France and the Netherlands, and like the class 16 they have become surplus after the introduction of Thalys and Class 11s. They earned their keep in their last years of service by pulling commuter "P" trains in the Liège area.

Before the January 1, 1971, renumbering, they were known in the six-number scheme as Type 150.
