The Hellenic Air Force Academy (Greek: Σχολή Ικάρων, abbr. ΣΙ (SI)) is a military academy responsible for supplying the Hellenic Air Force with military pilots, aeronautical engineers, air traffic and air defence controllers. The first Greek institution for aviation training was founded in 1919 as the Military Academy of Aviation (Στρατιωτική Σχολή Αεροπλοΐας) in Thessaloniki. In 1931 the Air Force School was founded in Tatoi, Athens. In 1967 it took the unofficial name Icarus School in reference to the figure of Icarus from ancient Greek mythology. The figure of Icarus forms the centrepiece of the academy's badge.

The Hellenic Air Force Academy is a member of the European Air Force Academies (EUAFA).
