Thief River Falls Regional Airport (Template:Comma separated entries) is a public use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) south of the central business district of Thief River Falls, a city in Pennington County, Minnesota, United States. The airport is owned by the Thief River Falls Regional Airport Authority.[1] It is mostly used for general aviation but is also served by one commercial airline subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.

The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2019–2023 categorized it as a non-primary commercial service airport based on enplanements in 2018 (between 2,500 and 10,000 per year).[2]
