The African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC; French: Commission africaine de l'aviation civile, CAFAC) is an agency of the African Union headquartered in Dakar, Senegal.

The purpose is to assist member states with a framework to discuss and plan the coordination, cooperation, development, and regulation of civil aviation in Africa. AFCAC is the executing agency of the Single African Air Transport Market, which implements the Yamoussoukro Decision. Their cooperation with the International Civil Aviation Organization includes promoting the application of their Standards and Recommended Practices.

The agency receives administrative and financial assistance from ICAO and has also gotten funding from the African Development Bank. As of 2015 many states did not pay their membership dues and 90% of AFCAC's income was spent on salaries and administrative costs.
