Hornafjörður Airport or Hornafjordur Airport (IATA: HFN, ICAO: BIHN) is an airport serving Höfn, Iceland. The airport is 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of the town. It is served by Myflúg Air with regular flights to Reykjavík Airport.

The Hornafjordur non-directional beacon (Ident: HN) is located 1.24 nautical miles off the threshold of runway 36.

The airport was opened on 22 September 1965, replacing a landing area on coastal spit south of the town at Melatangi, Suðurfjörður. The airport originally opened with a second 800m runway which ran east-west, later decommissioned. A larger terminal building was added in 1982.

In the 2013 film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Hornafjörður Airport is depicted as Nuuk Airport, with an Air Greenland aircraft landing there.
