The EMD F7 is a 1,500-horsepower diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors from 1949 to 1953. It is famous for its "bulldog nose" design and was the most sought-after model in the successful EMD F-unit series, used in both freight and passenger service. Powered by a 16-cylinder EMD 567B engine, it became the zenith of the diesel cab unit freight locomotive, ubiquitous on North American railroads until the 1970s and still in operation on heritage railways today.

While promoted for freight, the F7 was also used to pull legendary passenger trains, making it a multi-purpose locomotive. It became the best-selling diesel-electric locomotive in North America for a long time and was a common sight across the continent. Many F7s operated for decades due to their reliability and economy, continuing in service long after newer models emerged.

The F7 features a 16-cylinder, 567B series, two-stroke, 45-degree V engine, which is mechanically aspirated.

The F7 was the successor to the F3 and was later followed by the more powerful EMD F9 model.
