Royal Air Force Ludham or more simply RAF Ludham is a former Royal Air Force station located approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of the village of Ludham, and 16 miles (26 km) east-northeast of Norwich, in the county of Norfolk, England.

Although most of the airfield site has returned to agriculture, a small portion of the east–west runway is still used for private flying.
