The SNCF locomotives BB 1425 to BB 1440 were a class of 1500 V DC 4 axle electric locomotives originally built for the Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans in the 1920s.

The locomotives were used on mixed trains on lines between Paris and Bordeaux, after incorporation into SNCF the locomotives were used for shunting duties.
