The Air Force Cyberspace Command (AFCC) is a United States Air Force major command whose development was announced by the Secretary of the Air Force on November 2, 2006.

Designated to stand up around Summer 2007 (announced March 21 in Congress), the AFCC will draw upon the personnel resources of the 67th Network Warfare Wing as well as other resources of the Eighth Air Force; it will be placed under the command of Lieutenant General Robert J. Elder, Jr. Secretary Wynne summarized the mission of the AFCC: "The aim is to develop a major command that stands alongside Air Force Space Command and Air Combat Command as the provider of forces that the President, combatant commanders and the American people can rely on for preserving the freedom of access and commerce, in air, space and now cyberspace,"

The AFCC is still in the planning stages, the first to be at the "Cyber Summit" on November 16th, 2006.
