RAF West Malling was a Royal Air Force station near West Malling in Kent, England.

It was an operational airfield from 1939 to 1967 and subsequently was used for recreational flying. Up until the late 1980s, West Malling remained the home for the Air Cadet 618 VGS (Volunteer Gliding School), flying Vanguard TX1 gliders launched by cable.

It is now the site of Kings Hill, a mixed development of residential and business developments.
