Princeton Airport (FAA LID: 39N) is a privately owned, public use airport located in Rocky Hill, New Jersey, serving Princeton, and located three miles (5 km) north of its business center.

It was established by Richard A. Newhouse (original spelling Neuhaus). Among his other aviation-related projects, in 1911 he built a plane of his own design, featuring separate floating ailerons — a major innovation, as the planes of that time used wing warping for roll control.

Since 1985, Princeton Airport has been run by the Nierenberg family.

The airport also houses the Raritan Valley Flight School.
