Mys Shmidta Airport () , also known as Cape Shmidt Airport, is a former military airbase in the Shmidtovsky District of Chukotka, Russia. It is located southeast of Mys Shmidta. It is a major airfield with a concrete tarmac. It was built in 1954 as an Arctic staging base for intercontinental bomber flights, with caretaker services provided by OGA (Arctic Control Group). The gravel overrun suggests that the runway was to eventually be extended to 3000 m.
