The Odakyu 2000 series (小田急2000形 Odakyū 2000-gata) is a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Odakyu Electric Railway in the Tokyo area of Japan since March 1995.[1]

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 some of the passenger doors increased in width from 1,300 to 1,600 mm (4 ft 3 in to 5 ft 3 in) to help reduce station dwell times.[2]
