The Heer air defense badge (German: Heeres-Flakabzeichen) is a German military decoration of the Third Reich. It was created on July 18, 1941 and instituted by Generalfeldmarschall Walther von Brauchitsch to reward Heer personnel serving in anti-aircraft defense or detection.

This badge is awarded to anti-aircraft defense servicemen: the Flak, as well as to detection personnel on condition of accumulating 16 points according to the scale below:
- 4 points for battery personnel who have shot down an aircraft.
- 2 points for the personnel who helped destroy the plane.
- 1 point for being the first to capture the enemy plane in the beam of its searchlight.
In April 1942, this points system was replaced by the following provisions:
- 5 successful anti-aircraft actions against enemy aircraft,
- having performed active service for a minimum of 15 air attacks,
- any outstanding air defense action,
- the battery commander becomes eligible for this decoration as soon as half his team has received the medal.
On the other hand, the badge is not awarded for actions against ground targets, despite the fact that anti-aircraft units have repeatedly had to take action against ground targets. However, if repeated actions against ground targets have been successfully carried out, these units become eligible for the General Combat Badge (Sturmabzeichen Allgemeines).
