This is a list of anime series episodes produced for the Japanese romance series Air.

In 2005, the first anime adaptation under the title Air was produced by the Japanese animation studio Kyoto Animation and directed by Tatsuya Ishihara. Containing thirteen episodes which aired between January 6 and March 31 on the BS-i Japanese television network, the story follows Yukito Kunisaki, who arrives in a quiet seaside town during summer since he does not have anymore money to continue on his journey for now. He is on a search for the "girl in the sky" that his now-deceased mother told him about and was searching for too; Yukito has taken it upon himself to find this girl to finish his mother's journey. In town, Yukito meets three strange girls early on named Misuzu Kamio, Kano Kirishima, and Minagi Tohno, and Yukito begins to suspect that one of them may in fact be the girl he has been searching for.

After the conclusion of the anime series, a mini-series which added to the Summer arc of the story called Air in Summer aired on August 28 2005 and September 4 a week later on BS-i. Air in Summer consisted of two episodes and was produced by the same staff as the anime series.
