Coeur d'Alene Airport / Pappy Boyington Field (IATA: COE, ICAO: KCOE, FAA LID: COE) is a county-owned public-use airport, located in Kootenai County, Idaho, United States. It is located nine miles (14 km) northwest of the central business district of Coeur d'Alene[1][2] and is surrounded by the city of Hayden on three sides.

The airport was known as Coeur d'Alene Air Terminal until September 2007, when it was renamed Coeur d'Alene Airport / Pappy Boyington Field to honor World War II multiple ace Col. Gregory "Pappy" Boyington (1912–1988), a Medal of Honor recipient born in Coeur d'Alene.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
