This is a list of stations operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), or stations where RCAF units existed, from 1924 until unification into the Canadian Forces on February 1, 1968. Many of the listed RCAF stations link to facility descriptions that include the prefix "CFB" (Canadian Forces Base), or "CFS" (Canadian Forces Station) in the name. These facilities were at one time RCAF stations, but changed to CFBs or CFSs after unification. They are now operated by Canadian Forces Air Command. Many of these old RCAF stations are still in operation as CF Bases or CF Stations.

All RCAF facilities followed the naming tradition of the Royal Air Force, whereby the prefix RCAF (vs. RAF) was affixed. This tradition was removed by Canadian Forces Air Command. In the 1990s, most air force installations were reorganized into "wings" and most facilities are now referred to without the prefix CFB, e.g., "CFB Shearwater" is now also referred to as "12 Wing Shearwater".
