530 Squadron RAF was one of the ten Turbinlite nightfighter squadrons of the Royal Air Force during the Second World War.

530 Squadron was formed at RAF Hunsdon, Hertfordshire on 8[2] September 1942, from No.

11 Group RAF in Fighter Command.

Instead of operating only Turbinlite and -rudimentary- Airborne Intercept (AI) radar equipped aircraft (Havocs and Bostons) and working together with a normal nightfighter unit, such as with 3 Squadron in the Flight, the unit now also flew with their own Hawker Hurricanes.

It was disbanded at Hunsdon on 25 January 1943,[2] when Turbinlite squadrons were, due to lack of success on their part and the rapid development of AI radar, thought to be superfluous.
