Airfield Ezere was an airfield south of the border town of Ezere, on the north bank of the Ezere River, 120 kilometers southwest 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 taxiway to a small platform to the north of the runway.
No photos of the airfield while in use have been located

The airfield was torn up completely, possibly because it was located only 400meters from the border with Lithuania. Latvian Airfields lists it as 'completely unavailable for flight operations due to dismantled runway'.
The outlines are still recognisable however.
