Bou Grara Airfield is an abandoned World War II military airfield in Tunisia, near Golfe de Bou Grara (Madanin), about 360 km south-southeast of Tunis.
When the Americans moved out at the end of April 1943, the airfield was dismantled and abandoned. The airfield's precise location has become undetermined, as agricultural fields have obliterated its existence.
