The 1940 Air Terminal Museum is a museum located in Houston, Texas at William P. Hobby Airport. The museum currently exhibits several collections focusing on Houston's aviation history.

The museum is housed in The Houston Municipal Airport Terminal, an airport terminal that was constructed in 1940. The terminal building is an example of classic art deco airport architecture from the 1940s. Designed by architect Joseph Finger (who also designed Houston's City Hall), the terminal was built to meet Houston's growing role as a center for air commerce in the 1930s. The terminal served as the primary commercial air terminal for Houston until 1954.
