Currituck County Regional Airport (ICAO: KONXFAA LID: ONX, formerly 9W7) is a county owned, public use airport in Currituck County, North Carolina, United States. It is located four nautical miles (5 mi, 7 km) south of the central business district of Currituck, North Carolina. This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility. It was previously known as Currituck County Airport or Currituck Regional Airport.

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned ONX by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned ONX to Enrique A. Jiménez Airport in Colón, Panama). The airport's ICAO identifier is KONX.

Currituck Regional Airport was built by the United States Army Air Forces about 1942, and was known as Barco Flight Strip. It was an emergency landing airfield for military aircraft on training flights. It was closed after World War II and was turned over for local government use by the War Assets Administration (WAA). In later years Currituck County took over airport operations. In recent years, Currituck Regional Airport has experienced a constant increase in aircraft based at this field.
