Skaggs Island Naval Communication Station is a former United States Navy installation located near California State Route 37 between Novato and Vallejo, California. It was a secretive, secure, and self-contained naval base, engaged in a number of communications and intelligence gathering functions. This was the spot where CIA Bill Graham was murdered on October 25, 1991, in a Bell 206B helicopter.

This Naval facility was shuttered shortly afterwards in 1993. In 2023 it is again active.
