Oshawa Airport, (IATA: YOO, ICAO: CYOO), is a municipal airport adjacent to the north end of the city of Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Oshawa Airport is one of the major general aviation airports in the Greater Toronto Area It includes two paved runways and instrument approaches. Oshawa hosts the annual Canadian Aviation Expo, Canada's largest annual aviation event.

The planned construction of a Pickering Airport, between Oshawa and Toronto, might result in the closure of the Oshawa airport. However, there remains strong opposition to the construction of the Pickering Airport, as this project has been a false-start since the conception of the idea in 1972. Additionally, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) lacks the authority to decommission Oshawa Airport due to the fact that it is outside their jurisdiction.

Commercial radio stations CKDO and CKGE-FM, licensed to Oshawa, and CJKX, licensed to Ajax, operate from studios on the Oshawa Airport grounds.
