Southdown Motor Services (until 1992 legally Southdown Motors Services Ltd) was a bus and coach operator in East and West Sussex and parts of Hampshire in southern England. It was formed in 1915 and had various owners throughout its history, being purchased by the National Bus Company (NBC) in 1969.

The Southdown fleet name was lost when the company was acquired by the Stagecoach Group in 1989, but buses operated under the Southdown Motors Services Ltd operating license until 2015, when the licence was transferred to another company within the group. Southdown became a dormant company but was still owned by Stagecoach until the company was dissolved by the group in August 2022.
