Vyazma Airport (also Vyaz'ma) is an airport in Russia located 9 km southeast of Vyazma. It currently serves general aviation.
During the Cold War it was a Soviet Anti-Air Defense base and was home to 45 IAP (45th Interceptor Aviation Regiment) flying MiG-23P interceptor aircraft. The unit was decommissioned sometime in the 1990s due to cutbacks in defense spending.
