The 481st Tactical Fighter Training Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force fighter squadron. Its last assignment was with the 27th Tactical Fighter Wing at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, where it was inactivated on 8 July 1980.

The first predecessor of the squadron was the 481st Bombardment Squadron, which served as a Replacement Training Unit for Martin B-26 Marauder crews during World War II, until it was disbanded in 1944, when the Army Air Forces reorganized its training units.

The second predecessor of the squadron was organized at Bergstrom Air Force Base, Texas in 1957 as the 481st Fighter-Bomber Squadron, when the 27th Fighter-Bomber Wing expanded from three to four squadrons. It moved to Cannon Air Force Base later that year, absorbing the personnel and equipment of another squadron. It trained in tactical fighter operations and participated in deployments until inactivating in 1973.
