The Tokyu 8000 series (東急8000系, Tōkyū 8000-kei) is a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Tokyu Corporation in Japan from 1969 until 2008. A number of 8000 series trains are still operated by Izukyū Corporation in Japan and on the KRL Commuterline network in Indonesia.
