Niger Air Base 201 (also known in some sources as "Nigerien Air Base 201") is a Nigerien airbase near Agadez, Niger.
The base is about 5 km southeast of Agadez. The Nigerien military controls the base, but was built and paid for by the United States. The US Army used the base for drone operation during the American Intervention of Niger. As of January 2025, the site consisted of a runway, a hangar, and numerous smaller buildings for personnel to work and live in, and is in Nigerien control.
