We surveyed the prevalence and genetic diversity of coronaviruses from bats in Taita Hills, southeastern Kenya, as part of ongoing surveillance efforts in this remote part of eastern Africa. We collected fecal and intestinal samples in May 2018 and March 2019 from 16 bat species. We detected one genus of coronavirus (alphacoronavirus), with an overall RNA prevalence of 6.5% (30\/463). The prevalence of coronavirus RNA was 3.8% (9\/235) and 11.6% (21\/181) for the two most captured free-tailed bat species,\n                    <jats:italic>Mops condylurus<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>M. pumilus<\/jats:italic>\n                    respectively, with no detections from other bat species (0\/90). Phylogenetic analyses based on the partial RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene and whole genome sequences revealed that the sequences clustered together and were closely related to alphacoronavirus detected in free tailed bats in Eswatini, Nigeria and\n                    <jats:italic>Rhinolophus simulator bats<\/jats:italic>\n                    in South Africa. The sequences were more distantly related to alphacoronavirus isolated from\n                    <jats:italic>Chaerophon plicatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    bat species in Yunnan province, China and\n                    <jats:italic>Ozimops<\/jats:italic>\n                    species from southwestern Australia. These findings highlight coronavirus transmission among bats that share habitats with humans and livestock, posing a potential risk of exposure. Future research should investigate whether coronaviruses detected in these bats have the potential to spillover to other hosts.\n
