This page is about the family of diesel multiple unit trains in widespread service in the United Kingdom. For the diesel multiple units built by Goninan for use by V/Line in Victoria, Australia, see Sprinter (Victorian train).

The Sprinter is a family of diesel multiple unit trains in use on the UK railway system. They were built in the 1980s and early 1990s by BREL, Metro Cammell and Leyland. All are based around a Cummins engine with Voith hydraulic transmission. Sprinters can be seen operating in almost every part of the UK, from rural branch lines to commuter expresses into major cities.
