Tuscaloosa Regional Airport (IATA: TCL, ICAO: KTCL) is a public airport located three miles (5 km) northwest of the central business district (CBD) of Tuscaloosa, a city in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, USA.

The airport was once served by Delta Connection and American Eagle, but has had no service since the year 2000. As of Fall 2006, the city has authorized funding for Airline courting, in an effort to revive commercial service to the airport. The city and airport officials believe that the city is in a different economic picture with the Mercedes-Benz Plant located in the city. The plant is the only one in North America.

As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 1,309 commercial passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2004 and 1,497 enplanements in 2005.^[1] According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2007-2011, Tuscaloosa Regional is classified as a general aviation airport.^[2]
