Farkhor Air Base is a military airfield located near the town of Farkhor in Tajikistan, 130 kilometres (81 mi) southeast of the capital Dushanbe.

Farkhor was reported by Indian media outlets as country's first military base outside its territory. India operated a field hospital at Farkhor in the late-1990s and early-2000s, which was closed after the establishment of NATO-led ISAF mission.
