The Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (航空局, Kōkūkyoku, JCAB) is the civil aviation authority of Japan and a division of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).

Its head office is in the MLIT building in Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda, Tokyo. JCAB oversees the Ministry's air navigation services department, aviation safety and security department, aviation network department and international affairs.

For this purpose, safety measures are being actively introduced on the basis of new technology and in accordance with international standards, through the activities such as:

1) aircraft inspections
2) competence certification for airmen and
