Royal Air Force Wendling or RAF Wendling is a former Royal Air Force station located 5 miles (8.0 km) west-northwest of East Dereham, Norfolk, England.
Opened in 1942, it was used during the war by the 392nd Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces, Eighth Air Force, flying Consolidated B-24 Liberator bombers.
After the war, it was maintained by the RAF as a standby airfield until their departure in 1961. A small USAF radio detachment remained until 1964, when the land was sold off and returned to agriculture, with turkey sheds built on parts of the old runways.
