3801 (pronounced Thirty-eight o-one) is a 4-6-2 steam locomotive operated by the New South Wales Government Railways between 1943 and 1976. It is arguably Australia's most famous steam locomotive, being the only one to have visited all main line states and territories.

During the Australian Bicentenary celebrations in 1988, it operated an extensive program across Australia visiting every mainland capital accessible by rail including another trip to Perth in April/May 1988. In October 1988, Flying Scotsman arrived from England and for much of its year long tour across Australia was accompanied by 3801 behind glass frame size 445mm x 295mm
