L. M. Clayton Airport (IATA: OLF, ICAO: KOLF, FAA LID: OLF) is a public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) northeast of the central business district of Wolf Point, a city in Roosevelt County, Montana, United States. It is owned by the City of Wolf Point and Roosevelt County.[1] This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2] It is also designated to receive commercial service subsidized by the federal Essential Air Service (EAS) program. Reportedly, this made L. M. Clayton Airport the smallest airport in the 48 contiguous states with regularly scheduled air service.[3]

Scheduled air service at Wolf Point ended on March 8, 2008, when Big Sky Airlines (the designated EAS operator) ceased operation. Great Lakes Airlines has been given USDOT approval to take over EAS service between Wolf Point and Billings, Montana.[4]
