Ķekava air field name was an airfield 18 kilometers southeest 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 small platform halfway and to the north of the runway.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located

In February 2012, Latvian Aviation listed the airfields condition as "completely unavailable for flight operations, due to non-aviation activities on the field - buildings on the apron and within close proximity of the runway". MyAirfields took over that description.
A hangar-like building at the platform is now being used by a transport company, judging from the large amount of trucks in aerial photography. The runway is being used to park vehicles and trailers.
The general condition of the airfield is unknown, although it appears to be relatively intact.
