RAF West Kirby is a camp set up at the beginning of the Second World War to train Royal Air Force recruits in physical fitness. Thousands of conscripts went through its gates up until 1960, when the camp was demolished and the land converted back into farming fields.

It was located on the Wirral Peninsula. The camp entrance was on Saughall Massie Road, almost opposite Oldfield Lane. A dedication plaque was installed there in 2006.
