Nippon Cargo Airlines Company, Limited (日本貨物航空株式会社 Nippon Kamotsu Kōkū Kabushiki-gaisha?), or NCA, is a cargo airline with its head office on the property of Narita International Airport in Narita, Chiba Prefecture, outside of Tokyo. It operates scheduled cargo services in Asia and to Europe and North America. Its main base is Narita Airport.

Nippon Cargo Airlines was established on September 21, 1978 (its head office was initially a single room inside All Nippon Airways's space at the Kasumigaseki Building) and started operations in 1985.

Initially, NCA was a joint venture of shipping companies headed by Nippon Yūsen and All Nippon Airways. In August 2005, ANA sold its stake to Nippon Yūsen. The airline is owned by Nippon Yūsen (100%).
