'''Oregon World War II Army Airfields''' were the [[airfield]]s built or repurposed during [[World War II]] for training pilots and aircrews of [[United States Army Air Forces]] (USAAF) fighters and bombers in [[Oregon]].
Most of these airfields were under the command of [[Second Air Force]] or the [[Air Training Command|Army Air Forces Training Command]] (AAFTC) (predecessor of the current-day [[United States Air Force]] [[Air Education and Training Command]]).  However the other USAAF support commands (Air Technical Service Command (ATSC); Air Transport Command (ATC) or Troop Carrier Command) commanded a significant number of airfields in a support roles.
It is still possible to find remnants of these wartime airfields. Many were converted into municipal airports, though some were returned to agriculture and several were retained as [[United States Air Force]] installations and were front-line bases during the [[Cold War]]. Hundreds of the temporary buildings that were used survive today, and are being used for other purposes.
