Sheboygan County Memorial Airport (IATA: SBM, ICAO: KSBM) is a public, non-towered airport located in Sheboygan County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin, three miles (5 km) northwest of Sheboygan. The airport covers 737 acres and has two runways.

Sheboygan County Memorial has approximately 66,000 operations per year, thanks mostly to the large demographic of general aviation pilots in the area. This number ranks it number ten in the state for most takeoffs and landings. There are roughly 134 planes based at the airport, including the corporate planes of corporations such as Kohler Company, Bemis, and Richardson Bros. The airport is also currently undergoing a large expansion project. Completion of this project is planned for 2008, and will extend the runways, create more hangar space, and facilitate more use of the airport.

At different times of the year, Sheboygan County Memorial also serves a major link to local attractions such as Road America and the county's world-class golf courses, such as Blackwolf Run, Whistling Straits and The Bull at Pinehurst Farms.
