The Calnev Pipeline is a 550-mile buried oil pipeline in the United States that carries gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel fuel from Los Angeles refineries in California to Nellis Air Force Base on the northeast side of Las Vegas, Nevada. It carries approximately 128,000 barrels per day (5,380,000 gallons or 20.4 megaliters). Jet fuel from the pipeline is also sent to McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas.

On May 25, 1989, the Calnev Pipeline ruptured in a San Bernardino, California neighborhood due to damage from the cleanup of a train derailment that occurred thirteen days earlier. The resulting gasoline fire killed two people and destroyed eleven homes.
