Zeimelis airfield is an abandoned airfield 200 kilometers north-northwest of Riga, Latvia.
The airfield was built by order of the Lithuanian SSR (a state within the Soviet Union) Council of Ministers in the 1975-1985 timeframe.
It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot.
It consisted of a runway, a taxiway and two medium sized platforms to the north of the runway.
