Reno/Stead Airport (FAA LID: 4SD) is a large general aviation airport located in the North Valleys area, 10 miles (16 km) northwest of the central business district (CBD) of Reno, a city in Washoe County, Nevada, USA. It is home to the Reno Air Races and is also used by the Bureau of Land Management as a base for fire fighting aircraft.

The airport began life as the Stead Air Force Base, which was primarily used for survival training. In 1966 the airfield was transferred to the City of Reno, and the housing facilities were sold to private individuals.

Reno/Stead Airport does not have regularly scheduled service, but it functions as a general aviation reliever for the nearby Reno/Tahoe International Airport.
