This article constitutes a list of rocket launch sites. Some of these sites are known as spaceports or cosmodromes. A single rocket launch is sufficient for inclusion in the table, as long as the site is properly documented through a reference. Missile locations with no launches are not included in the list. Proposed and planned sites and sites under construction are not included in the main tabulation, but may appear in condensed lists under the tables.
A shorter list of spaceports for human spaceflight and satellite launches is available in the article Spaceport.

## Table specification
### Sorting order

* Countries in alphabetical order within a table
* Launch sites within a country are sorted chronologically according to start of operations

### Column specification

* Country – territory of the site (the organisation responsible for the launches may reside elsewhere, as indicated in the notes column;
* Location – Name of launch site (sometimes also province etc.)
* Coordinates – geographical coordinates
* Operational date – the period of years of launch activities
* Number of rocket launches – the total number of launches, including failed launches
* Heaviest rocket launched – total mass at lift-off
* Highest achieved altitude – height in km above launch site (unless orbital)
* Notes – comments
Major/active spaceports are shown in bold.

### Proposed or planned spaceports in North America

* Cape Breton Spaceport (aka Cape Breton Space Centre), Nova Scotia
* Cape Rich, LFCATC Meaford, Ontario
* Oklahoma Spaceport, Burns Flat,
* Silver Space Ports, Arizona
* Spaceport Washington, Moses Lake, Washington This project was proposed in 2005 by a small real estate brokerage firm operating from an office in Renton, Washington, and has since proven to have been a scam. The principal party - Mr. Andy Shin Fong Chen, CEO of ASPI Group, LLC - was charged with fraud by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on 15 March 2017. No licensing was ever issued by any local, state or Federal government agency, nor was any construction ever initiated.
* Roosevelt Roads Naval Station - at a former Naval station in Puerto Rico, the local redevelopment authority, in December 2024, issued a request for proposal for a vertical space launch site on 66.17 acres, at Roosevelt Roads Naval Station site.

### Past and/or planned only

* Cape York Peninsula, Queensland.
** Space Centre Australia secured land for main site facilities for space launch, located 43km east of Weipa, close to RAAF Scherger in 2023. Final approvals may come under Mokwiri Aboriginal Corporation. Previously a Cape York Space Agency was established by the government to develop a facility for Ukrainian Zenit launches at Weipa. However, traditional owners from Cape York Land Council blocked the proposal.
** Space Centre Australia, secondary site, at Utingu, known as Punsand Bay in Bamaga, which comes under the council of the Torres Strait Island Region, and is said to be one of the closest facilities to equatorial launch access in the Asia Pacific region.
* Christmas Island, Australian external territory.
** Site planned 1997 by the Asia Pacific Space Centre, but did not go ahead due to insufficient backing.
** Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) conducted Phase I of a High Speed Flight Demonstration (HSFD) at Aeon Field on Christmas Island in 2002.
