Orote Field is a former air base in the United States territory of Guam built by the Empire of Japan with Chamorro forced labor during the Japanese occupation of Guam (1941-1944). It is separate from the Marine Corps amphibious airplane base at located at Sumay village that was operational from 1921 to 1931. Following the liberation of Guam in 1944, the U.S. military repaired the field for further use in the Pacific War. Located on Naval Base Guam, Orote Field was largely abandoned after World War II except for occasional training exercises. One major event in 1975 was Operation New Life, when a tent city for tens of thousands of South Vietnamese refugees was erected at the field. The field was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

Fue capturado por la Armada Imperial Japonesa en el inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y permaneció bajo control japonés hasta finales de julio de 1944, cuando fue recuperado de vuelta por la Infantería de Marina. El campo de aviación en sí, construido en la península de Orote, fue uno de los muchos en Guam, y se cerró definitivamente en 1946, pero aún se ve algún uso como pista de entrenamiento utilizado por los equipos de Hércules C-130 en las inmediaciones de la Base de la Fuerza Aérea Andersen.
