George M. Bryan Airport (ICAO: KSTF, FAA LID: STF) is a city-owned public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) southwest of the central business district of Starkville, a city in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, United States.[1] The airport, also known as George M. Bryan Field, was named in honor of World War II veteran and Starkville native George Martin Bryan.[2]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned STF by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[3]
