The Alexander Dennis Enviro500 is a 3-axle double-decker chassis or body of a bus. It has a low-floor. It was built from 2002 to 2014 by Alexander Dennis.[a]

The Volvo B9TL bodywork could be built on the Enviro500 chassis.[1]

The front of the Enviro500 looks nearly the same as the single-deck Enviro300.

In 2015, the Enviro500 was replaced by the Enviro500 MMC.
