Pichilemu Airport (Spanish; Castilian: Aeródromo de Pichilemu) is an airport serving Pichilemu, a Pacific coastal city in the O'Higgins Region of Chile. It is one of the oldest airports in the region.

It is currently owned by Club Aéreo de Pichilemu,[2] on loan from the Municipality of Pichilemu as a commodate.[3] It is used on certain occasions for events such as Presidential visits, and for emergency landings.

The Ministry of Public Works of Chile invested more than 300 million pesos (about US$750,000) to pave the 12000m2 dirt runway,[3] and it was inaugurated on 10 September 2011.[4]

The runway is within the city, less than 1km (01miles) inland from the Pacific shore. The length does not include an additional displaced threshold on Runway 04.
