No. 93 Squadron was a Royal Australian Air Force ground attack squadron of World War II. The Squadron was formed in January 1945 and was equipped with Bristol Beaufighter aircraft. While No. 67 Squadron completed its training in April 1945, delays resulted in it not deploying to participate in the Borneo Campaign until July. Following the end of the war No. 93 Squadron was primarily used to provide navigation support to single engined fighter aircraft, and operated in this role until being disbanded in August 1946.
