Dzērbene air field is an abandoned airfield 70 kilometers northeast 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, taxiways and three small platforms to the east of the runway.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located

Latvian Airfields listed the airfields condition as 'Average' in 2010. The airfield appears to be fairly intact, but two football (soccer) fields are located between the runway and the platforms. The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
