The Kuressaare Airport (Estonian: Kuressaare Lennujaam ) is an airport located in Estonia. The airport is located near the village of Roomassaare three kilometers southeast of the town of Kuressaare on Estonia's largest island and the third largest Baltic island of Saaremaa.

The first runway was built in the second half of the 1930s. On March 6, 1945, a regular air traffic to Tallinn was taken. The airport has played an important role in the winter when boat connections were set to the mainland. For the fishing industry of the island was the catch directly to the target markets, such as Moscow, to be flown. In 1958, the airport was electrified.

Flights land ( albeit sometimes not all year) on the island of Ruhnu and to Tallinn, Riga, Helsinki and Stockholm.
