contents We prove a prime decomposition theorem for string links in a thickened surface. Namely, we prove that any non-braid string link $\ell \subset Σ\times I$, where $Σ$ is a compact orientable (not necessarily closed) surface other than $S^2$, can be written in the form $\ell =\ell_1 \# \ldots \# \ell_m$, where $\ell_j,j=1,\ldots,m,$ is prime string link defined up to braid equivalence, and the decomposition is unique up to possibly permuting the order of factors in its right-hand side.
