The various balloon pilot badges of the United States Armed Forces are military badges created between 1918 and 1922. The badges recognized qualified airship/dirigible and observation balloon pilots. Such badges were issued by the U.S. Army and the U.S. Air Force as the "Balloon Pilot Badge" and "Airship Pilot Badge." Additionally, the U.S. Navy issued the "Balloon Pilot Insignia" (occasionally referred to as the "dirigible pilot insignia").
