East Hampton Airport (IATA: HTO, ICAO: KHTO) is a public airport located three miles (5 km) west of East Hampton, in Suffolk County, New York, USA.

There is considerable debate about the airport which is prominently used by private jets visiting the Hamptons. Residents of newly built houses around the airport have complained about the noise. Other residents have complained about the money spent on the airport. Much of the debate now centers on whether to repair the 2,501 foot runway 4/22 which is cracked with vegetation and is currently closed.

The airport currently has no scheduled commercial service although at various times there has been service including Trump Air helicopters which flew into the airport in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Marine One was based at the airport for one week in August of 1998 and 1999 during week-long visits by Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton to the Georgica Pond home of directorStephen Spielberg.
