Royal Air Force Bardney or RAF Bardney is a former Royal Air Force station located 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Bardney, Lincolnshire, England and 10 miles (16 km) east of Lincoln. It was built as a satellite to RAF Waddington in 1943 and the airfield closed in 1963.
It was one of the many bomber bases built in Lincolnshire and was built to the standard design of three concrete runways. All the facilities were wildly dispersed. The tower was built on the south-eastern perimeter, not very far from a minor road. Scotgrove drain runs at the south end of the airfield. The airfield was bordered by woods on three of its sides.
