Airfield Pelči was an airfield 130 kilometers west 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 medium sized platform to the south of the runway.

The airfield was built over with a farm.
Since February 2012 Latvian Airfields lists it as "completely unavailable for flight operations due to non-aviation activities on the field - buildings on the runway and apron".
The outlines are still recognisable however.
