Magan Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Маган; Yakut: Маҕан аэропорда, Mağan aeroporda) serves the village of Magan, a few kilometers west of Yakutsk, in Russia.

Until the early 1980s, Yakutsk/Magan was monitored as one of nine Arctic staging bases capable of handling the Tupolev Tu-22M (Backfire) bomber.[1]
