Fanling Airstrip (Chinese: 粉嶺機場) was a military airstrip in the race course, Fanling, New Territories, Hong Kong. In May 1949, when the 1st Independent Field Squadron of the Royal Engineers arrived from British Malaya, they built a temporary military airstrip on the ninth fairway (located at the Hong Kong Golf Club's fairway to number 9 hole), let the 2-seater spotter aircraft of the Royal Artillery to use for patrolling the British-Sino boundary for a few weeks before moving on (the unit departed Hong Kong in February 1950).The airfield disappeared when the Golf Course resumed operations in the early 1950s.
