KTT (simplified Chinese: 九广通; traditional Chinese: 九廣通)^[4] is a train set used by the MTR Corporation Limited in Hong Kong on the Guangdong Through Train route. It is used on the Guangdong line (Hung Hom (Kowloon), Hong Kong - Changping - Guangzhou East) of the through train service.

The double-deck "KTT" trailers have lower bottom floor than the ordinary cars serving on the same pair of tracks.

After the Guangdong Through Train and all other intercity passenger services were suspended in early 2020 amidst the coronavirus pandemic, the KTT trains were placed into storage. Despite border reopenings, there are currently no plans to resume intercity services.
