Sahl Sinjar Air Base is a former Iraqi Air Force base in the Nineveh Governorate of Iraq. It was captured by Coalition forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003.

Sahl Sinjar Airbase was located approximately 350 kilometers North of Baghdad, and about 100 kilometers Southwest of Mosul. The airbase was served by a 9,800 foot long runway, and there were two parallel taxiways that could be used as emergency landing strips.
