The R268 is a proposed class of New Technology Train (NTT) subway cars built for the New York City Transit Authority. They are to be built by Kawasaki Railcar Manufacturing for the B Division of the New York City Subway and will replace all remaining R68 and all R68A subway cars. The order will have a similar design to the R211 fleet.

A request for proposal for pre-contract awards was issued in June 2023, and a sole source advertisement for the contract was released in September 2025. The contract was awarded on October 29, 2025.
