The North East Land Sea Air Museums, formerly the North East Aircraft Museum is a volunteer-run aviation museum situated on the site of the former RAF Usworth/Sunderland Airport, between Washington and Sunderland, England.

The museum also has a small collection of other items such as weaponry, vehicles and other historical exhibits.
