Storuman Airport (IATA: SQOICAO: ESUD) is an airport about 35 km east of Storuman, Sweden, in the small village of Gunnarn.

It was built as a military airbase (called Gunnarn), hence the relatively long runway. It had 12,753 passengers in 2006. It will probably lose all scheduled passenger flights in 2008, since the government and the relevant authority has decided not to support the traffic financially from autumn 2008. The reason is that the Vilhelmina Airport is located only 75 km from Storuman centre. Air traffic cannot continue without public financial support.
