Bellingham International Airport (IATA: BLI, ICAO: KBLI) is a public airport located three miles (5 km) northwest of Bellingham, in Whatcom County, Washington, USA. The airport has a single runway.

Due to the close proximity to Canada, the Bellingham International Airport functions somewhat as a reliever airport to the Vancouver International Airport. On the Allegiant Air website the airport is referred to as Bellingham/Vancouver.

In early 2007, Bellingham International hosted service to several destinations by the short-lived Western Airlines. Later the same year, Skybus provided flights to their hub in Ohio, but shut down quickly like Western Airlines had done earlier.

On March 1, 2008, Allegiant Air opened up their sixth base at Bellingham International Airport. The airline now currently bases two McDonnell Douglas MD-80 aircraft in Bellingham as part of the expansion.
