Sheikh ul Alam Airport (Hindi: शेख़ उल आलम हवाई अड्डा, Urdu: شیخ الاسلام عالم ہوائی اڈا) commonly known as Srinagar Airport (Hindi: श्रीनगर हवाई अड्डा, Urdu: سری نگر کے ہوائی اڈا), is an international airport in Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir, India (IATA: SXR, ICAO: VISR).

It has been named after one of the greatest saints of Kashmir, Sheikh Noor-ud-din Noorani, popularly known to Kashmiris as Sheikh-ul-Alam.

Currently the airport has undergone extensive renovations, including improving the runway, a new terminal for departure and arrival, air bridges and other operational facilities, and was inaugurated on 14 February 2009 by an Air India flight from Dubai. Seasonal Hajj pilgrimage charters to Jeddah are also operated from Srinagar.
