Wittman Regional Airport (IATA: OSH, ICAO: KOSH, FAA LID: OSH) is a county-owned public-use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) south of the central business district of Oshkosh, a city in Winnebago County, Wisconsin, United States.[2] A large portion at the south end of the airport is located in the town of Nekimi.[5] It is located adjacent to Pioneer Airport, part of the EAA Aviation Museum.

The airport was named after pioneer air racer, aircraft designer and builder Steve Wittman in 1972.[6] Originally named Winnebago County Airport, the name Steve Wittman Field[7] was proposed in 1968, and it is also known as Wittman Field.[8]

It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2025–2029, in which it is categorized as a national general aviation facility.[9]
