The École de l'air et de l'espace (French pronunciation: [ekɔl də lɛʁ e də lɛspas]) is a military school and grande école training line officers in the French Air and Space Force.

In 1922, the École du génie (School of Engineering) of Versailles, was entrusted with the mission to train all officers and aircrew in aeronautics.

The École militaire et d’application de l’Aéronautique (Military and Aeronautical School) was set up in 1925.

The outbreak of World War II forced the school to relocate several times from 1939 to 1945, to sites including Bordeaux, Collioure, and Marrakech.

The school received the Legion of Honor and the Croix de Guerre from President Vincent Auriol in 1947.
