Afobaka Airstrip is an airstrip near Afobaka, a village in the Brokopondo District of Suriname. The airstrip is primarily used for emergency evacuation and gold shipment. It is from the campsite of the Gross Rosebel gold mine, which has its own airstrip.
Between 1960 and 1964, the 1913 meter-long Afobaka Dam was built on the Suriname River, creating the Brokopondo Reservoir. The airstrip is north of the dam.
