List of high-speed trains

The following is a list of high-speed trains, limited to conventional wheeled trains, that have been, are, or will be in commercial service.

A high-speed train is generally defined as one which operates at speeds of over or at 200 km/h (124 mph), with a high level of service, and generally comprising multi-powered elements. The names of each high-speed rail service often able to reach 200 km/h, such as French Corail, European IC trains or Amtrak's Northeast Regional, unconventional trains, such as maglev and Transrapid, and prototypes are excluded.

In these tables, two maximum speeds are given: the column "Operated" refers to the maximum speed reached by the train in commercial operations, while the column "Design" refers to the theoretical maximum speed in commercial operations as announced by the manufacturer. In some cases, a third "Record" speed is also listed.

High-speed trains currently or soon in service
