The Washington-Virginia Airport was formerly an airport in Fairfax County, Virginia, USA.

The airport was first known as Crossroads Airport for the nearby Bailey's Crossroads. In 1942, a license was granted to build and operate an airport but it was not built until 1947 after World War II. The original two gravel runways were paved by 1962. The airport closed in 1970 due to encroaching suburban development from Washington, DC and is now the site of Skyline, a high-rise complex of office buildings, apartment towers, and a shopping center between State Route 7, Seminary Road, and George Mason Drive.
