The DF 100 is a series of diesel-electric locomotives produced by the Moroccan railway company Office National des Chemins de Fer (ONCF).

The six-axis machines with the C'C 'wheel arrangement largely correspond to the CC 72000 series from SNCF . They were designed for fast passenger train service as well as for freight traffic. The wheelset transmissions act on all wheelsets of the three-axle bogies, they can be switched to two speed levels. The slow speed level is a maximum of 85 km / h, the high speed level 135 km / h.

Between 1968 and 1970 14 of the 20,190 mm long locomotives with buffers were delivered to the ONCF. They were given road numbers 101 to 114. Their continuous output is 2,250 kW, they weigh 108 t.

In 2007, SNCF acquired six used CC 72000s and added them to the DF 100 series. These are the four machines 72003, 72009, 72018 and 72020 with a top speed of 140 km / h and the 160 km / h 72027 and 72085. In Morocco they have the road numbers 115 to 120.
