Belmont Airport (IATA: BEOICAO: YPEC) is an airfield located in the Lake Macquarie suburb of Pelican, 15 km south of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. It has one runway of 3000 ft (914 metres), and was served by regional airline Aeropelican. The airfield has virtually ceased operations, since the withdrawal of scheduled Aeropelican services from the airport in 2006.

Belmont Airport has been taken over by the owners of Warnervale Airport. The tar runway will be ripped up and a concrete runway laid. They are looking at a commuter service to Sydney in early 2008.
