The ALCO 300 was an early diesel-electric switcher locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) of Schenectady, New York between 1931 and 1938.

Following purchase of the engine manufacturer McIntosh & Seymour in 1929, ALCO built a {{convert|300|hp}} box cab locomotive. This was the #300, an ALCO demonstrator. The engine used was the Model 330 and GE electrical transmission was used. Another demonstrator #300 was built as an end cab switcher in July 1931 also using General Electric electrical equipment. This unit was sold to the Lehigh Valley Railroad as its #102. A subsequent {{convert|300|hp}} end cab switcher was sold to the Lehigh Valley as its #103 in December 1931. A McIntosh and Seymour Box cab Lehigh Valley #125 was rebuilt with an ALCO 330 engine in 1931 and then renumbered Lehigh Valley #101.

Three more end cab {{convert|300|hp}} switchers were built in 1932 for stock demonstrators, but they were not sold until 1935. An additional two {{convert|300|hp}} end cab switchers were built in 1935. All these stock units and the two new end cab switchers were sold to the US Navy in 1935. The final two {{convert|300|hp}} end cab switchers were built in 1938 for the United Fruit Company's narrow gauge railroad in Panama.
