Berezovka Air Base (also Umbozero South) is a former air base in Murmansk Oblast, Russia located 13 km southwest of Umbozero. It contained few facilities and no buildings identifiable on satellite imagery, and was likely intended for use as a forward bomber staging base during the height of the Cold War.

The base is located 10 miles (16 km) south of Lake Umbozero and 7.4 miles (11.9 km) south west of Oktyabrsky, Murmansk Oblast.
