The International Linear Collider and Compact Linear Collider projects aim to build a linear electron-positron collider with a center-of-mass energy well above the top quark pair production threshold. In this contribution an overview is presented of the potential of their top quark precision physics programme. The highlights include a precise determination of the top quark mass, to better than 50 MeV and a measurement of the top quark couplings to the Z-boson and the photon to better than 1%, both significantly beyond the expected precision at the Large Hadron Collider. New results are also presented for the sensitivity to non-standard top quark decays and its interaction with the Higgs boson.
