Saint-Donat Airfield was a World War II military airfield in Algeria, located near Tadjenanet in Mila Province; approximately 63 km southwest of Constantine. It was used by the United States Army Air Force Twelfth Air Force as a heavy bomber (B-17 Flying Fortress) airfield during the North African Campaign. Known units assigned to the field were:

• 301st Bombardment Group, 6 March-6 August 1943, B-17 Flying Fortress

Due to the limited amount of aerial photography available, it is not possible to precisely determine the location and condition of the airfield today.
