Middenmeer Aerodrome (Template:Langx) is a small airfield in the town of Middenmeer, Netherlands. It is located southeast of Den Helder.
During the beginning of the Second World War a military airstrip existed in the area, from which the Royal Netherlands Air Force deployed Fokker C.V and Fokker C.X aircraft for bombing and reconnaissance missions against the German military.[1] The south-west corner of the current airfield touches the north-east corner of the former military airfield.[2]
As of 2012, the airfield has a single grass runway, 05/23, 600 metres (1,968 feet) long. It is used exclusively by ultralight aviation, the short grass runway not being able to support heavier aircraft.[3]
