Alto Palena Airport (Spanish; Castilian: Aeródromo Alto Palena,) is an airport serving Palena, a small town in the mountains of the Los Lagos Region of Chile. Palena is from the Argentina border. The airport is just north of the town, and south of a bend in the Palena River.

There are downslopes past the short overruns of both ends of the runway. There is nearby mountainous terrain in all quadrants, and hills are close to both east and west approach paths.
