空中浩劫（英文：Mayday、Air Crash Investigation或Air Emergency）是一个由加拿大的Cineflix公司所制作的纪录片节目，分别在世界各地的国家地理频道及Discovery频道播出。此节目主要介绍1970年代黑匣子发明之后所发生的近代重大航空事故。目前正在播出第十一季，第十二季中也正在计划中。在第三季时，有三集穿插铁道事故及航海事故（此三集在海外地区播出时未必归为空中浩劫系列，台湾地区国家地理频道将此三集列为“浩劫现场”系列）。

A story about bravery, self-sacrifice and human dignity put on trial by the merciless power of nature. A young pilot is fired from military air force after disobeying an absurd order. He gets a job as a co-pilot with a civil airline. Being brutally honest and direct, he is not on best terms with his new colleagues. During a flight to Asia his crew receives a distress message from a volcanic island and makes a decision to attempt a rescue mission. Will it be a success? Will they survive the disaster? They have a single chance to find that out: by being a team and sticking up for one another.
