The 364th Bombardment Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. Its last assignment was with the 305th Bombardment Wing at Bunker Hill Air Force Base, Indiana, where it was inactivated on 1 January 1970. The squadron was first activated in March 1942. After training in the United States, it moved to England in the fall of 1942, where it participated in the strategic bombing campaign against Germany, earning a Distinguished Unit Citation for its actions. Following V-E Day, the squadron moved to Germany, where it formed part of the occupation forces until inactivating in December 1946.

The squadron was reactivated in 1947, but does not seem to have been equipped or manned before it was inactivated in 1948. It was activated under Strategic Air Command (SAC) in 1951 as Boeing B-47 Stratojet unit. In 1961, it converted to the Convair B-58 Hustler, which it flew until inactivating.
