The MCI D-Series is a model of motorcoach bus produced by Motor Coach Industries (MCI). The bus is primarily used by private companies operating scheduled service or commuter buses, government agencies for the transport of prisoners, and in more recent years, public transit agencies who use them on express routes. It is sold alongside the MCI J-Series bus, primarily used by tour and charter operators.

The D-Series was introduced in February 1992 as MCI's first 45-foot (14 m) motorcoach, enabled by a December 1991 law change that allowed the additional length. The coach replaced the B- and C-Series models, which were equipped with obsolete two-stroke engines.
