Airfield Grubbenvorst (Dutch: vliegveld Grubbenvorst) was an small air strip northwest of Venlo in Limburg, the Netherlands.
It was owned and operated by the Stichting Ultralight Limburg. Because of the construction of a new giant greenhouse on neighbouring land the airfields runway had to be rotated 80 degrees. The new landing strip became the issue of a lawsuit, resulting in the airfield getting closed completely a little over a year later.
The aircraft based at the airfield all moved to a new location at Trafficport Venlo on 30 October 2009, after which Grubbenvorst closed permanently.
