aircraft_helicopter=Aérospatiale SA 330 PumaThe 752 Squadron "Pumas" ("Esquadra 572") was a helicopter Search and Rescue squadron of the Portuguese Air Force.

Activated in November 30, 1977, along with its sister 751 Squadron, the 752 Sqn. was the successor of the 42 Squadron, which had been activated in the beginning of that year and was later disbanded leading to the creation of the 752 Squadron.

In October 1993, the 752 Squadron was disbanded after the creation of the "Puma" Flight in the recently formed 711 Squadron.
