AB  - Linear e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>−</sup> colliders provide a rich set of opportunities for precision top physics, crucial for the understanding of electroweak symmetry breaking and for the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. A t―t threshold scan in e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>−</sup> annihilation enables a precise measurement in theoretically well-defined mass schemes with small experimental and theoretical systematic uncertainties. Above the production threshold, the efficient identification of top pair events combined with polarized beams provides the potential to extract the form factors for the top quark couplings with high precision and in a model-independent way, resulting in excellent sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model. This contribution provides an overview of top physics at linear colliders based on results from full-simulation studies of top quark pair production in the detectors proposed for ILC and CLIC.
