Waupaca Municipal Airport is a city owned public use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) southeast of the central business district of Waupaca, a city in Waupaca County, Wisconsin, United States. The airport is also known as Brunner Field, which opened in November 1944. It is located adjacent to U.S. Route 10. It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2021–2025, in which it is categorized as a local general aviation facility.[4]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned PCZ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[5]
