The 2000 series (2000形 Nisen gata?) is a commuter EMU operated by the Odakyū Electric Railway in Japan.
A total of nine 8-car sets were manufactured between 1995 and 2001 in three batches. The design was based on the earlier 1000 series sets, with the passenger doors increased in width from 1300 mm to 1600 mm to help reduce station dwell times.

The Odakyu 2000 Series was also featured as a driveable Train in the PC game Microsoft Train Simulator.
