The 3200 series is a series of Chicago 'L' car built between 1992 and 1994 by Morrison-Knudsen. As of 2010, all of the 257 cars that were built remain in service.

The 3200 series was the last series of five interoperable series of Chicago 'L' cars known as the High Performance Family, and the last cars ordered for the Chicago Transit Authority that use direct current motors. Future train orders will use alternating current motors.
