Classic Fighters is a biennial air show in Blenheim, New Zealand, held on the Easter weekend of odd-numbered years. It is held at Omaka Airfield, just outside of the main town of Blenheim.

Classic Fighters is much more than just an airshow. Aircraft are displayed as part of a theatrical spectacle, where battle scenes and other historical events are re-enacted on the ground as well as in the air with an emphasis on World War I aircraft including as many as seven Fokker Dr.I triplanes.

The 2009 air show will be held 10th to 12th April. On even-numbered years, the Warbirds over Wanaka event is held in nearby Wanaka.
