Preston bus station is the central bus station in the city of Preston, Lancashire, England. It was designed by Ove Arup & Partners in Brutalist architectural style between 1968 and 1969, to a design by Keith Ingham and Charles Wilson of Building Design Partnership with E. H. Stazicker. It was built by John Laing.

In the 2000s the building was threatened with demolition as part of the city council's Tithebarn redevelopment project. After two unsuccessful attempts, it was granted Grade II listed building status in September 2013. It was then refurbished and reopened in July 2018.
