Royal Air Force Bury St Edmunds or simply RAF Bury St Edmunds is a former Royal Air Force station located 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England. It is not to be confused with the RAF grass strip on the western side of Bury St Edmunds known as RAF Westley, an area now part of the town itself.
The airfield was originally, and is now again, known as Rougham, as it is located north of that village between the A14 and the main railway line between Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich.
