Space Futures Command is a planned United States Space Force field command that forecasts the threat environment, develops and validates concepts, conducts experimentation and wargames, and performs mission area design.

The establishment of Space Futures Command was announced on 12 February 2024. It will be composed of the Space Warfighting Analysis Center, Concepts and Technology Center, and Wargaming Center. According to General B. Chance Saltzman, the field command would ensure competitiveness over time and couple mission needs with capability development.
