The 65th Aggressor Squadron is a U.S. Air Force fighter squadron tasked with providing aggressor training at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.

Originally formed in 1969, the 65th Aggressor Squadron began flying the F-5E Tiger II in 1975. They provided aggressor training to US Air Force fighter crews participating in Red Flag and other exercises at the extensive Nellis Air Force Range. The 65th flew its last aggressor mission on April 7, 1989, before being deactivated. Newly re-activated in late 2005, the 65th received their first F-15, painted in desert camouflage. Currently, nine F-15s are being transferred to the 65th, with a planned total of 24.
