The TE10 () is a series of diesel-electric locomotives from the Soviet Union. The name of this locomotive (ТЭ10) is from тепловоз с электрической передачей, тип 10, which translates to "diesel-electric locomotive type 10."
== History == In 1957–1961, the Kharkiv plant "Electrotyazhmash" and Malyshev Factory designed a new single-unit locomotive with 50% more power than a single TE3 unit and only a slightly greater mass. The result was the TEP10 and TEP10L designs. After 1961, work on the freight version of the design was assigned to the Lugansk works. These designs received the suffix "L" to the name to signify the transfer.
