Legnica Airport was a Polish airport in Legnica. It was initially a military airport before transitioning to a city-centre commercial airport in the 1990s. While in operation, it had a runway length of , with a width

History Before World War II, the airport operated as a hub for Zeppelins. After the war, it was taken over by the Soviet Armed Forces (its Northern Group of Forces) and used for military purposes until the early 1990s.

Any expansion was deemed to be a costly proposition since a nearby railway line would need to be rerouted into an underground tunnel, and even after that because of the short runway the airfield would only be really useful as an inner city airport, akin to Mannheim Airport or London City Airport.

Officially closed in 2015, the airport no longer exists. The area has become an industrial estate, including factories of the German company Viessmann have been constructed on the former plot of land.

Airport infrastructure There is a railroad line near the terminal that could have been used for passenger service.
