The '''Finnish Air Force Museum''' ({{langx|fi|Suomen Ilmavoimamuseo}}), formerly the '''Aviation Museum of Central Finland''' ({{langx|fi|Keski-Suomen ilmailumuseo}}), is an aviation museum located near Jyväskylä Airport in Tikkakoski, Jyväskylä, Finland. The museum exhibits the aviation history of Finland, from the early 1900s until today.
