The Richmond Naval Air Station was a military installation near Miami, Florida. that was active during World War II.

In 1942, the Navy purchased 2,000 acres (8.1 km2) that were bounded by SW 122nd Avenue and 137th Avenue, from 152nd Street (Coral Reef Drive) to 184th Street. The base was used as a blimp base. The site is located in Miami-Dade County, southwest of the Kendall area.

On September 15, 1945, a hurricane destroyed the hangars, blimps, 366 planes and 150 cars, ending its contribution to the war effort.

It is now part of the Gold Coast Railroad Museum.
