Airwave (foaled 12 February 2000) is a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. Competing almost exclusively in sprints she won six of her twenty-two starts in a racing career which lasted from July 2002 until June 2005. She was one of the fastest juveniles of her generation in 2002 when she won the Firth of Clyde Stakes and then recorded an upset victory over Russian Rhythm in the Cheveley Park Stakes. In the following year she won the Temple Stakes and was placed in the Golden Jubilee Stakes, July Cup and Haydock Sprint Cup. She was not as good as a four-year-old, but did win the Land O'Burns Fillies' Stakes and finished second in the Diadem Stakes. She was sold to Irish interests and ran three times as a five-year-old, winning the Ridgewood Pearl Stakes before being retired to begin a second career as a broodmare.

Airwave is a bay mare with a white star bred by Richard and Tessa Watson of the Manor House Stud in Rutland. The Watsons later recalled her as "a lovely foal... the pick of the bunch that year". Her sire Air Express was a miler who had his biggest success when winning the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in 1997. He stood as a breeding stallion for only two seasons before dying in 2000 at the age of six, with Airwave being the best of his offspring. Airwave' dam, Kangra Valley, won one minor event at Thirsk Racecourse in a sixteen race career. After foaling Airwave, she went on to produce the Nunthorpe Stakes winner Jwala.
