Mexico Memorial Airport (ICAO: KMYJ, FAA LID: MYJ) is a city-owned public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) east of the central business district of Mexico, a city in Audrain County, Missouri, United States. This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned MYJ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned MYJ to Matsuyama Airport in Japan).
