Stagecoach in Mansfield is a bus operator providing bus services in Mansfield and surrounding areas. It is a subsidiary of Stagecoach East Midlands, a subdivision of the Stagecoach Group.

They have around 60 buses and 200 employees who carry more than 6 million passengers per year, with a passenger increase of approximately 7%[clarification needed].

As well as Mansfield, they also operate certain buses to Nottingham, Chesterfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Bolsover, Eckington, Sheffield, Langwith, Edwinstowe, and Newark-on-Trent. Although most routes operate all week, some routes do not operate on Sundays, and some routes only operate on Sundays. On bank holidays, a Sunday service is operated.

Stagecoach in Mansfield operate the 'pronto' service between Nottingham and Chesterfield via Mansfield. The service was previously operated using high-specification single deckers before it was upgraded to double-decker operation in a £3 million investment in 2018.[1]

The service was previously jointly operated between Stagecoach and trentbarton; from 15 February 2020, trentbarton ceased operations on the route, resulting in Stagecoach now operating the entire 'pronto' network, coinciding with another £1.1 million investment of branded double-deckers to replace trentbarton's services.[2]
