John Hay Air Station, more commonly known as Camp John Hay, was a military installation in Baguio, Philippines.

The site was a major hill station used for rest and recreation, or R&R, for personnel and dependents of the United States Armed Forces in the Philippines as well as United States Department of Defense employees and their dependents. It was last run by the United States Air Force as a communications station.

With an average elevation of 5,000 feet (1,500 m), Camp John Hay - and Baguio in general - is much cooler and less humid than the rest of the Philippine Islands thereby providing a more familiar mild climate the typical American soldier knows back home. The facility housed The American Residence as well as Broadcasting facilities of the Voice of America.

In World War II, Camp Hay was bombed by the Japanese on December 8, 1941, captured by the Japanese army on December 27, 1941, and used for several months to house 500 civilian internees, mostly Americans, who were living in the area. It was recaptured by the United States Army in 1945.

The site was turned over to the Philippine government in 1991, and was converted into a leisure and tourist site.
