The Midland Railway 990 class was a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotive with simple expansion. Ten were built by the Midland Railway in 1907–1909. They shared many features with the 1000 class compounds. Initially built as saturated, from 1910 to 1914 they were equipped with superheated boilers. These locomotives were well-known for their work North of Leeds, over the demanding Settle and Carlisle route.

They passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1923 and were withdrawn between 1925 and 1929. In 1926, the eight surviving locomotives were renumbered 801 to 809 to free up their old numbers for more Compounds. None have survived into preservation, though the first of the compounds has.
