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.
