Lagos de Moreno Airfield (Spanish; Castilian: Aeropuerto Nacional de Lagos de Moreno); officially Aeropuerto Nacional Francisco Primo de Verdad (Francisco Primo de Verdad National Airport) is a small airstrip located in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico. It handles domestic air traffic and supports flight training and general aviation activities. The airfield does not provide scheduled passenger public services. The nearest airport that serves commercial flights is León/Bajío International Airport.

Situated at an elevation of above mean sea level, it features a single asphalt runway, designated as 04/22, measuring . Adjacent facilities include small hangars, an apron with parking positions for aircraft, and a small terminal building. The airport is named after Francisco Primo de Verdad y Ramos, a lawyer and politician.

Over the years, the airfield has experienced intermittent service by regional airlines, offering seasonal flights within the region.[1] From 1994 until 2000, commercial flights were operated by TAESA, Mexico's third-largest airline at the time. These flights included regular routes to Mexico City, Tijuana, and at times also to Guadalajara and Zacatecas.[2] In 2012, there were plans by Mexican investors to establish Lagos de Moreno as a cargo airport; however, this initiative did not materialize.[3]
