The Mojave Air and Space Port (IATA: MHV, ICAO: KMHV) is located in California, USA. It is the first facility to be licensed in the United States for horizontal launches of reusable spacecraft.

Mojave Spaceport has been a test site for several teams in the Ansari X Prize, most notably the Scaled Composites SpaceShipOne, which conducted the first privately funded human sub-orbital flight on June 21, 2004. Other groups based at the Mojave Spaceport include XCOR Aerospace, Masten Space Systems, and Firestar Technologies. Other companies at Mojave include Orbital Sciences Corporation and Interorbital Systems.
