Stagecoach in Chesterfield is the sector of the Stagecoach Group that operates buses in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, U.K.

There are over eight million passengers per year, a passenger increase of approximately ten percent. They have 119 buses and 320 employees.

As well as Chesterfield and its boroughs, they also run certain buses to Bolsover, Clay Cross, Alfreton, Matlock, Dronfield, Sheffield, and Eckington. They also operate express coaches to Sheffield. Recently, Stagecoach in Mansfield and Trent Barton began operating the new [http://www.stagecoachbus.com/uploads/prontoFrom29January2006.pdf Pronto] service between Chesterfield, Mansfield and Nottingham.

To assist the elderly and disabled, many routes have low-floor buses.

On 3 May 2005 Stagecoach opened a new coach station in Chesterfield (on the site of the old one) for their express routes, and also for National Express routes.

Although most routes operate all week, some routes do not operate on Sundays, and some only operate on Sundays. On bank holidays, a Sunday service is operated.
