Pakistan Air Force Base, Peshawar is an airbase of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) located in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is the operational site of the PAF's Northern Air Command, located to the east of Bacha Khan International Airport, which is shared by both civil aviation flights and military flights.

The site was originally established by the British as RAF Peshawar. It was formerly used by the Royal Air Force between 1918 and 1947. The first wing headquarters to arrive appears to have been No. 52 (Corps) Wing in March 1918, and then No. 1 (Indian) Wing from 1921-28. The first flying squadron reported at Peshawar was No. 31 Squadron RAF between 31 October 1921 and 17 April 1923 with the F2B Fighter, which came back between December 1939 and February 1941.

The following other units were here at some point:

• No. 5 Squadron RAF between 22 January and 3 July 1947 with the Hawker Tempest F.2
• No. 20 Squadron RAF initially between 5 January and 22 May 1925 with the Bristol F.2B Fighter, then returning on 12 October 1925 and staying on and off until 1 May 1942 operating the Westland Wapiti then the Hawker Audax and finally the Westland Lysander II
• No. 27 Squadron RAF between 26 May and 12 October 1925 with the Airco DH.9A
• No. 28 Squadron RAF initially between 19 April 1923 and 5 January 1925 with the F2B Fighter, followed by detachments during 1931 and 1939
• No. 34 Squadron RAF detachment between June and December 1942 with the Bristol Blenheim IV
• No. 39 Squadron RAF detachment between March 1929 and November 1931 with the Wapiti
• No. 60 Squadron RAF initially between 29 May and 15 October 1925 with the DH.9A then between March 1939 and February 1941 as a detachment
• No. 155 Squadron RAF between 1 April and 9 July 1942
• No. 659 Squadron RAF from 12 January 1946 then downsizing to a detachment from January 1947 operating the Taylorcraft Auster AOP.5 & Auster AOP.6. The squadron was disbanded on 14 August 1947.

No. 223 Group RAF was located at the station between 1 May - 30 November 1942, and then from May 1944 - 15 August 1945. Nos 3 and 4 Squadron RIAF were operating from Kohat under No. 223 Group on 1 July 1942 and 1 January 1943. On 1 January 1943 they were both flying Hawker Hurricanes. By 1 January 1943 they had been joined by No. 215 Squadron RAF flying Vickers Wellingtons from Chaklala, though No. 215 Squadron was non-operational.

The airbase is currently home to:

• No. 17 Squadron "Tigers"
• No. 26 Squadron "Black Spiders"
• No. 81 Squadron PAF "Kangaroos"

• The airbase was the site of the 2012 Bacha Khan International Airport terrorist attack by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which left around nine people dead (including five TTP militants) and over 40 injured.
• One day after the Bacha Khan International Airport attack, on 16 December 2012, an additional six people, including five militants and one police officer died and two police officers were wounded in a gunfight that broke out near the airbase. Pakistani security forces claimed that the militants, who were Uzbeks, were accomplices of the TTP fighters who were killed on 15 December 2012 during the airport attack.
