Heliport Dresden-Heller (german: Hubschrauberlandeplatz Dresden-Heller, Russian:  аэродрома Дрезден-Хеллер) was an helicopter airfield situated on the northeastern edge of Dresden, Saxony in Germany.
The airfield was built in 1957 by the Soviet Army in East-Germany at the end of the former Airport Dresden runway. It consisted of a short runway (about 300x30yards), numerous parkings and several operations buildings. In 1970 a large maintenance hangar was built.

The airfield was home to a Soviet helicopter squadron, 6 OVE flying Mi-6, Mi-8 and Mi-24. After the Russians withdrew in 1992 the airfield laid abandoned and the buildings deteriorated until they were taken down in 2005. The airfield is now slowly disappearing because the neighbouring sandpit is expanding its business.
