The 927th Air Refueling Wing (927 ARW) is a combat coded Air Reserve Component (ARC) wing of the United States Air Force. It is assigned to the Fourth Air Force (4 AF) of Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) and is stationed at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida.

The wing has over 900 personnel, with approximately 200 full-time officer and enlisted Air Reserve Technicians (ART) and 700 part-time Traditional Reservist (TR) officers and airmen. An associate unit of the 6th Air Refueling Wing (6 ARW) of the Air Mobility Command (AMC), both units share and fly the same Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker aircraft at MacDill AFB and at forward deployed locations. The 927 ARW also mirrors the 6 ARW in nearly every aircraft maintenance and mission support function with parallel squadrons. The only activity not replicated in the 927 ARW is a group level activity analogous to the 6 ARW's medical group which operates the MacDill AFB Clinic. 927 ARW medical personnel consist of an aerospace medicine squadron and an aeromedical staging squadron.

If mobilized to active duty, the 927 ARW is operationally-gained by AMC.
