The following bus routes are operated in Nassau County, New York. Most of these routes are operated under Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE), formerly MTA Long Island Bus, except in Greater Long Beach, where that city operates its own bus service. Some of them are the direct descendants of streetcar lines (see List of streetcar lines on Long Island and in Queens), and most were previously privately operated prior to 1973.
This table gives details for the routes that service Nassau County primarily. For details on routes that run into Nassau County but do not service it primarily, see:

Routes shown are for the full route except for branching. The n4 and n6 provide service 24 hours a day; all other routes are daily service except late nights unless otherwise noted.
