Trolleybuses in Brighton
The Brighton trolleybus system once served the town of Brighton, East Sussex, England. Opened on ,〔〔 it gradually replaced the Brighton Corporation Tramways network.
By the standards of the various now defunct trolleybus systems in the United Kingdom, the Brighton system was a moderately sized one, with a total of nine routes.〔 It was also unusual, in that it had two operators.

Ltd., introduced a fleet of eight trolleybuses to the system on with three more following later, and ran them on four of the system's routes.〔 The whole system was closed relatively early, on .〔〔
Two of the former Brighton trolleybuses are now preserved. One is at the Science Museum annexe at Swindon, and the other is at the East Anglia Transport Museum, Carlton Colville, Suffolk.〔 The latter vehicle, no 52, is preserved in the livery of Maidstone Corporation, which acquired it and used it on the Maidstone trolleybus system, following the closure of the Brighton system.〔
