Kreivukė airfield was a World War II era airfield 135 kilometer west-southwest of Vilnius.

The airfield was in use with the Red Army Air Force in October 1944, who used Il-2 Schturmovik and Yak aircraft from the airfield. It is not known when the airfield closed.

Today, the area is built over by the Baltic highway and a gas station. According to local historian Arūnas Jasaitis, no traces remain of the former airfield.
