Audriņi air field is an abandoned airfield 150 kilometers southeast of Riga, Latvia.
The airfield was built by the Soviet Union in the 1975-1985 timeframe. It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway and a medium sized platform to the south of the runway.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located

In February 2012 Latvian Aviation listed the airfield as "completely unavailable for flight operations due very poor quality of the asphalt and trees all around". Aerial photography shows the runway in the midst of a forest. Photography on the ground shows the runway is largely overgrown. The airfield is closed to all traffic.
