A beyond-visual-range missile (BVR missile) or beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) is an air-to-air missile with a weapon engagement zone (WEZ) that exceeds the visual field of the pilot. Medium-range, long-range, and very-long-range air-to-air missiles fall under the category of beyond-visual-range missiles.

BVR range typically begins at around 40 km (22 nmi) and beyond.
