Randolph Field Historic District is a National Historic Landmark located at the center of Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.
As a United States Army base, it played an important role in the development of the army's air arm, the United States Army Air Corps, which later became the United States Air Force.
The district consists of 397 buildings and other features, in an area of approximately 405 acres (1.6 km²). Most of these buildings and structures were built between 1929 and 1932, to support a new airfield project for the Army.
