Haugesund Naval Air Station was a military water aerodrome situated at Avaldsnes on the outskirts of the town of Haugesund in Rogaland county, Norway. At the time it was in operation, it was located in the municipality of Avaldsnes on the island of Karmøy . The air base was operated by the Royal Norwegian Navy Air Service from 17 November 1918 to 7 April 1919. The Naval air station consisted of three portable hangars, a barracks and an outhouse.
The station was established to allow two Sopwith Babys to assist the Royal Norwegian Navy in minesweeping around Karmøy. In this capacity they continued until 21 January 1919. The airport was subsequently reactivated on 5 February to aid in fisheries patrol. This duty lasted until 7 April.
