Bavarian A V engines were 2-2-2 steam locomotives in service with the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn).

This class was the first express train locomotive with the Bavarian state railways. It was developed from the Class A IV. Unlike the A IV, the Class A V had a lower-pitched boiler and a wider firebox. In addition access to the valve gear was improved. Later still the vehicles were fitted with a steam dome. Because engines on the southern side of the Danube were fired with peat, they had a pear-shaped chimney. In addition these locomotives had different dimensions.

They were equipped with a 3 T 4.8 tender.
