RAF Northleach was a Royal Air Force airfield near the Cotswold town of Northleach, Gloucestershire. Though named after the town the actual airfield was located in the nearby parishes of Hampnett and Turkdean. Constructed during 1941 the airfield was designated an emergency landing ground until July 1942 when it was assigned to No.3 Glider Training School from nearby RAF Stoke Orchard which provided basic elementary training for pilots of the Glider Pilot Regiment.
