Air field Klaipeda (Lith.: Kłajpedos aerouostas, Russian: Клайпедский аэродром, ICAO: EYKL) is an airfield 7 kilometers east of Klaipeda on the coast of Lithuania.
The airfield was built the Soviet Union in the 1975-1985 timeframe and used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway and a taxiway to a platform to the south of the runway.

After Lithuanian independence it was succesfully redeveloped into a privately run airport with primary focus on sports aviation and charter services.
