Zweibrücken Air Base was a NATO military air base in West Germany (ICAO: EDAM). It was located 35 miles (56 km) SSW of Kaiserslautern and 2 miles (3.2 km) SE of Zweibrücken. It was assigned to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and the United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) during its operational lifetime. It was a constituent member of the Kaiserslautern Military Community.

The military facility was closed in 1991 after the Cold War ended, the site now serving as the civilian Zweibrücken Airport.
