The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) operates a number of bus routes in Staten Island, New York, United States. Some of them are the direct descendants of streetcar lines (see list of streetcar lines in Staten Island). Many routes run to the St. George Terminal, at St. George in northeastern Staten Island, where there are connections to the Staten Island Ferry. The fare, payable by MetroCard, coins, or the OMNY contactless payment system, is $2.90 as of 2023. Discount fares are available.
This table gives details for the routes prefixed with "S" - in other words, those considered to run primarily in Staten Island by the MTA. For details on routes with other prefixes, see the following articles:
Routes marked with an asterisk (*) run 24 hours a day. Connections to New York City Subway stations, the Staten Island Ferry, or Hudson–Bergen Light Rail at the bus routes' terminals are also listed where applicable.

Operated as a Select Bus Service (SBS) route. The S79 provides SBS service at all times. Originally a local route, the S79 was converted to an SBS route in 2012, with the number of stops cut by about three-quarters.[21] But unlike the SBS buses in the rest of New York City, the S79 has no fare machines at bus stops, so fares are collected onboard the bus.

Except for the S61, all current Staten Island bus routes originally had different designations before they were renumbered by service patterns, as follows:[40]
On April 2, 1989, routes on the North Shore of Staten Island were renumbered.[41]
The implementation of this numbering scheme was completed on April 15, 1990, when the final eight routes, all from St. George, were renumbered.[42]
Old and new routes are given below, along with discontinued service patterns. In addition, before 1975, routes were designated with R (for Richmond, the borough's official name before 1975) instead of S. The R designation is shown in the "Old Route" section.
