Húsavík Airport (Icelandic: Húsavíkurflugvöllur [ˈhuːsaˌviːkʏrˌflʏɣˌvœtlʏr̥], regionally also [-ˌviːkʰʏr-]) (IATA: HZK, ICAO: BIHU) is an airport serving Húsavík, Iceland. The runway is 10.4 kilometres (6.5 mi) southwest of the town. The airport had scheduled Eagle Air services to Reykjavik Airport until 1 April 2024.

The opening of the Vaðlaheiðargöng tunnel in 2018 shortened the distance by 16 km to Akureyri (and Akureyri International Airport) to only 75km, around a one-hour drive. This led to scheduled services to Húsavik Airport being cut back and eventually scrapped.^[5] As of 2024, the Icelandic government is in discussions to introduce a subsidised seasonal winter service to Húsavik Airport.^[6]

The Gardur non-directional beacon (Ident: GA) (4.1 nautical miles) and the Husavik non-directional beacon (Ident: HS) (1.1 nautical miles) are located off the threshold of runway 03.^[7]^[8]
