The BUT 9641T was a three-axle double deck trolleybus chassis manufactured by British United Traction between 1947 and 1956. A total of 498 were manufactured for eight operators in England at Leyland's Ham, AEC's Southall and Crossley Motors' Stockport factories.[1] 127 were supplied to London Transport, forming their Q1 class, and Nottingham purchased 102.[2]

As of 2024, around eleven 9641T trolleybuses are preserved in the UK, including examples at the East Anglia Transport Museum in Suffolk and the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft in Yorkshire.[3][4]
