Lawrence J. Timmerman Airport (IATA: MWC, ICAO: KMWC), known locally as Timmerman Field, is an airport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, owned by Milwaukee County. Located 5 mi (8 km) northwest of the city center, it is used mainly for general or private aviation.

The airport was formerly known as Wright-Curtiss Field, hence the letters "WC" in its airport codes. It was host to the Experimental Aircraft Association's earliest Fly-In Conventions from 1953 to 1958. The airport was renamed for Lawrence J. Timmerman (1878-1959), chairman of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors from 1936 to 1959.
