भारतीय रेलवे में, डबल डेकर एक्सप्रेस ट्रेनें द्वि-स्तरीय यात्री बैठने वाली रेल गाड़ियों से बनी एक्सप्रेस ट्रेनें हैं। उनकी उच्च प्राथमिकता है और उन्हें भारत में तेज गाड़ियों में माना जाता है। इस प्रकार की ट्रेनों को छोटी यात्रा मार्गों पर शुरू किया गया था और एक पारंपरिक कुर्सी गाड़ी की तुलना में अधिक लोगों को पूरा करने के लिए। इसने यात्रियों को पुष्टि आरक्षण के साथ अंतिम मिनट की यात्रा की योजना बनाने की भी अनुमति दी। कपूरथला कोच फैक्ट्री में निर्मित नवीनतम स्टेनलेस स्टील एलएचबी कोच का उपयोग एसी डबल डेकर ट्रेनों के लिए किया जा रहा है। हावड़ा - धनबाद एसी डबल डेकर एक्सप्रेस अपने प्रकार की पहली शुरुआत थी।
