Epsom Coaches is a coach operator in the United Kingdom, based in the Surrey town of Epsom. The coach business was established in the 1920s and has prided itself on being one of the best coach operators in the UK. It operates a luxury fleet of mostly Setra coaches, and provides a number of tours and excursions, as well as coaches being available for private hire. The company's vehicles can also be seen on rail replacement duties.

In the mid-1980s Epsom Coaches made the move into the bus market. In 2003, Epsom Coaches decided to rebrand its bus division as Quality Line and repainted its vehicles from their traditional cream and brown into allover red - in order to comply with Transport for London regulations regarding the colour of buses.
