The 3600 series (Unidad de Tren Eléctrico 3600) is an EMU developed by Babcock & Wilcox for FEVE. It was introduced in 1982 by FEVE, transferred to Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana in 1986 and withdrawn from service in 2006.

The 3600 series is quite notable for having been used in a quite number of lines and compositions.
