The NSB Di 4 is a diesel-electric locomotive used by Norwegian NSB railways to haul passenger trains on stretches which are not electrified. They are used mostly on Nordlandsbanen, since the other unelectrified stretches are usually served by diesel multiple units.

The five Di 4s which were built were made by Henschel in 1980 and entered service a year later. They were supposed to be replaced with NSB Di 6 locomotives, but those engines were a total failure. Apart from shunters, the Di 4 is now the only diesel locomotive in NSB's fleet. They are numbered 4 651 to 4 655.

Although not identical in looks, the Di4 is almost technically identical to the DSB Class ME.
