The EMD FP7 was a dual-service diesel-electric locomotive produced by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division (EMD) between 1949 and 1953. It was designed for passenger trains but could also be used for freight. The "F" in its name stands for the F-unit series of "cab" locomotives, while the "P" signifies that it was intended for passenger service.

The FP7 was essentially a standard F7A freight locomotive, extended by four feet to accommodate a steam generator and a larger water tank. This steam was used to heat passenger cars. The additional length can be identified by the increased space between the first porthole and the first carbody filter grille. The FP7 was powered by a 16-cylinder, 1,500-horsepower EMD 567B diesel engine. The diesel engine drove a generator, which in turn provided electricity to the traction motors. While built for passenger service, the FP7 was also regularly used for hauling freight. Some railroads found its B-B trucked design offered better tractive effort than other passenger locomotives on steep grades.

Between 1949 and 1953, EMD built 381 FP7 units. Notable original buyers included the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, Atlantic Coast Line, and Canadian Pacific. The FP7 was succeeded by the FP9, which was exclusive to the Canadian market. A number of FP7s have been preserved and are operational today.

Over its production run, the FP7 saw numerous minor changes, including different side grilles and dynamic brake fan sizes. Some railroads, particularly those operating in mountainous areas like the Canadian Pacific, added "icicle breakers" to the roof to protect windows.
