Disambiguation: Refers to the United Kingdom Air Ministry (1918–1964), the civilian government department administering the Royal Air Force. Not to be confused with air ministries of other nations.

The Air Ministry was the British government department responsible for managing the Royal Air Force (RAF) and civil aviation, established on 2 January 1918. It was created to coordinate and consolidate the Army's Royal Flying Corps and the Navy's Royal Naval Air Service, which merged to form the RAF on 1 April 1918. The Air Ministry was led by a Secretary of State for Air and governed by the Air Council, overseeing aircraft production, research, development, weather forecasting, and civil aviation regulation throughout the 20th century. It operated as a major military-administrative branch until 1 April 1964, when it was merged with the Admiralty and War Office to form the unified Ministry of Defence. No significant UFO or UAP involvement is documented in publicly available Air Ministry records.
