Angkatan Udara dan Pertahanan Udara Azerbaijan (bahasa Azerbaijan:Azərbaycan Hərbi Hava Qüvvələri) merupakan cabang angkatan udara untuk Angkatan Bersenjata Azerbaijan. Ia telah didirikan pada 26 Juni, 1918, saat Republik Demokratik Azerbaijan membeli pesawat udara militer pertama mereka. Posisinya yang strategis selain kehadiran pangkalan udara bekas Uni Soviet di Azerbaijan memungkinkan unit udara Angkatan Darat Azerbaijan dikembangkan saat kemerdekaannya.
