RAAF Base Wagga (formerly RAAF Base Forest Hill) is located in the New South Wales town of Wagga Wagga, in the suburb of Forest Hill.

The RAAF no longer owns the airfield, which is now called Wagga Wagga Airport, although military aircraft still use it.

The base, until the start of 2008 belonging to the Air Force's Ground Training Wing, is now home to Headquarters RAAF College (RAAFCOL) and the relocated (from RAAF Base Edinburgh) No 1 Recruit Training Unit (1RTU), the Air Force's basic recruit training school. The base continues to be the main ground training base for airmen and airwomen of the technical, administration and logistics trades as well as the location for initial courses for Administration and Logistics officers. The main postgraduate promotion courses are also conducted there.
