Neoplan USA was a major transit bus manufacturing company based in Denver, Colorado, which was entirely separate from the German corporation, Neoplan, licensing its designs from the German company of the same name. The company was founded in 1981 and folded in 2006.

Neoplan manufactured standard floor buses, low floor buses, and articulated buses. Neoplan had 625 employees and the revenue was $810,000,000 before it ceased operations in January 2006.

In its last few months of operation, Neoplan had fallen on hard times, such as warranty issues with San Francisco's MUNI, and with the Boston MBTA over bus deliveries.
