RCAF Station Assiniboia was a Second World War British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) flying training station located near Assiniboia, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was operated and administered by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).

RCAF Station Assiniboia was originally a Royal Air Force training station, hosting No. 34 Elementary Flying Training School (No. 34 EFTS). A relief (emergency) landing field was located near Lethburn, Saskatchewan. This school used Tiger Moth aircraft. No. 34 EFTS opened February 11, 1942 and closed January 30, 1944. No. 34 EFTS was incorporated into No. 25 EFTS (RCAF), which used the Fairchild Cornell. No. 25 EFTS closed down July 28, 1944. Other units located at Assiniboia until the end of the war in 1945 include No. 41 Pre-Aircrew Training School, and No. 403 Aircraft Holding Unit.

The aerodrome is now the Assiniboia Airport.
