The HKL Class M300 is a class of metro trains operated by Helsinki City Transport (HKL) in use on the Helsinki Metro. 20 four-carriage trains were built between 2014 and 2016 by Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles.[2][3] In November 2019, HKL announced the purchase of five additional trains.[4]

It is planned to automate the M300 trains, however as of January 2020 the trains have temporary driver cabs.
