The 316th Airlift Division is an inactive United States Air Force organization.

In September 1953, the 316th Division manned, equipped, trained, and maintained assigned units until April 1960.

It provided warning and defense against potential hostile air operations against the Moroccan region of North Africa.

In April–May 1991, assigned units deployed aircraft and personnel to Turkey in support of Operation Provide Comfort, a humanitarian relief effort to save the Kurds from starvation and resettle them in northern Iraq.
