JMWAVE or JM/WAVE or JM WAVE was the codename for a major secret United States covert operations and intelligence gathering station operated by the Central Intelligence Agency from 1961 until 1968. It was headquartered in Building 25[1] at the former Naval Air Station Richmond, an airship base in Miami, about 12 miles south of the main campus of the University of Miami on what is the university's present-day South Campus.

The intelligence facility was also referred to as the CIA's "Miami Station" or "Wave Station."[2][3][4][5][6]
