The South Dakota Air National Guard (SD ANG) is the aerial militia of the State of South Dakota, United States of America. It is a reserve of the United States Air Force and along with the South Dakota Army National Guard an element of the South Dakota National Guard of the much larger United States National Guard Bureau.

As state militia units, the units in the South Dakota Air National Guard are not in the normal United States Air Force chain of command. They are under the jurisdiction of the Governor of South Dakota through the office of the South Dakota Adjutant General unless they are federalized by order of the President of the United States. The South Dakota Air National Guard is headquartered in Sioux Falls, and its commander is currently Major General Timothy Reisch.
