Reserve air field Ergolding (german: Reserveflugplatz Ergolding) was a Luftwaffe airfield north of Landshut in Lower Bavaria in Germany
The airfield was built in 1936 on leased lands with the usual facilities like barracks and an ammunition depot. It was part of the Regional Airfield Command (german: Flughafen-Bereichskommando) Schleißheim, a unit of Luftgau-Kommando VII. 
In 1939 the airfield became base for a company sized support unit. 
From 1940 it became a diversion field for the Pilot Training School at Pilsen.
In 1943 it became a subordinate unit for the Pilot Training School at Straubing.

After the war the remaining barracks were used to house displaced persons. The rest of the lands were returned to their original owners shortly after the war, but in spite of this multiple Ju52/3m transports still landed at the former airfield filled with refugees from Czechia. These aircraft, about 10 of them, were abandoned and left behind.

Some of the buildings around the Rottenburger Straße remain in use to this day. Most of the terrain has been converted for other uses though, and cannot be recognised as a former airfield.
