The Farnborough International Exhibition and Flying Display is an international trade fair for the aerospace business. It is held at Farnborough Airfield near Farnborough, Hampshire in England at the end of July in every even numbered year, alternating with the Paris Air Show.

Farnborough International is a commercial air show, organised by the British aerospace industry's body the Society of British Aerospace Companies whose main purpose is to demonstrate civilian and particularly military aircraft to potential customers. It is one of the most prestigious in the world and one of the world's biggest arms fairs. In 2004 there were more than 1300 exhibitors and 150,000 trade visitors. The general public are also admitted, and there are static and flying displays.

The airshow attracts strong protests against the arms trade. See Campaign Against Arms Trade
