Hasimara is a small but significant town in the Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal state, India.

The town is located in the central Dooars region of the district and is surrounded by tea gardens. The town also lies on the way to Phoentsholing, the gateway to Bhutan, and the border is just about 8-10 kms away.

The significance of this little town lies in the Air Force Station of the Eastern Air Command being located here. This is one of the more strategic air force bases of the Indian Air Force.
