Ezhou Huahu Airport (IATA: EHU, ICAO: ZHEC) is an airport serving the cities of Ezhou, Huanggang and Huangshi in Hubei, China.

The airport was developed by SF Express and Hubei province as a logistics hub for China and is touted as China's first cargo-focused airport. One of the factors for SF Express to choose Ezhou as the site of a major cargo hub is it being located almost equidistant from Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, while also being only an hour drive away from Wuhan.

The airport uses a single terminal with two runways as well as logistics facilities for handling an initial operation of over two million tonnes of cargo. The terminal is planned to handle one million passengers annually by 2025.

On 29 December 2021, the first aircraft carried out flight verification at the airport. The airport opened on 17 July 2022 for passenger service. Cargo service started on 27 November 2022.
