Plovdiv Airport (Bulgarian: Летище Пловдив, romanized: Letishte Plovdiv) (IATA: PDV, ICAO: LBPD) is an airport that serves the second largest city in Bulgaria, Plovdiv, and is the country's 4th busiest airport behind Sofia Airport, Burgas Airport and Varna Airport. It is sometimes referred to as Plovdiv Krumovo Airport, after a small village located 6 km south-east away from the city on the main Plovdiv-Asenovgrad second class road.

Plovdiv Airport serves the nearby ski resorts of Bansko, Pamporovo and Borovets, and therefore serves mainly charter flights, during the winter season from the end of December until March. The main traffic at present is charter flights to and from the United Kingdom and Germany. The airport also plays a vital role in case of emergencies and is sometimes used as an alternate for Sofia Airport, which is almost 150 km away or 1.5-hour drive on the Trakiya motorway.
