The FS Class 653 was a tender-type steam locomotive operated by the Italian State Railways, Ferrovie dello Stato (FS). The locomotives originally came from the Austrian Südbahn (SB) as Class 109 and were transferred to Italy after the First World War as part of reparations. In total, the FS took over 13 locomotives, which were assigned the numbers 653.001–653.013.
With FS, the locomotives were mainly in service in the Trieste and Udine areas. Due to their small numbers, they remained a marginal presence in the Italian locomotive fleet. They were withdrawn from service between 1939 and 1940.
