Airfield Zwartberg (Dutch: vliegveld Zwartberg), is an airfield in Genk, in the province of Limburg, Belgium.
The airfield was founded in 1957 and is the home base of a glider club, a model aircraftclub and an aeroclub.
The airfield began with an airstrip of sand, but it soon became unusable. After trail and error a grass was found that allowed for the frequent use as a runway.
In 1998 the runway was upgraded to the current asphalt surface.
