The 2875th Test Squadron was a United States Air Force unit.

The 2875th Test Squadron was activated on October 1, 1955 and posted at Olmsted Air Force Base. A search and rescue unit, it was primarily tasked with executing the "Outpost Mission", an operations plan related to the rescue of the President of the United States from the White House in the event an attack against Washington, D.C. resulted in normal exfiltration from the building becoming impractical or impossible due to structural damage of the facility.

The unit was deactivated on November 15, 1975. It was reactivated in 1988 at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia and was responsible for conducting functional flight checks for depot aircraft.

The 2875th Test Squadron was consolidated with the 339th Test Squadron on October 1, 1992.
