RAF Holbeach also Air Weapons Range Holbeach, is a United Kingdom Ministry of Defence academic air weapons range situated between Boston and King's Lynn near Gedney Drove End on The Wash, in Lincolnshire, eastern England. Most of the range, including the control tower and four observation towers are in Gedney, but it does overlap with Holbeach to the west.

The range opened in 1926 as an air gunnery range attached to and established by Royal Air Force Practice Camp Sutton Bridge . Use of the range began on 27 September 1926, with biplanes firing and dropping bombs over the area formally known as "Holbeach Air Gunnery and Bombing Range", and colloquially simply as Holbeach Marsh Range.
