Beauvechain Air Base (ICAO: EBBL) is a Belgian Air Component military airfield located in Kleine Brogel, a municipality of Belgium. It is home to the 10th Tactical Wing, operating F-16 Fighting Falcons.

It has been subject to much political controversy because of alleged U.S. nuclear weapons being stored in the facility. (Source: Dossier: Kleine Brogel (English).)
