Brooksville–Tampa Bay Regional Airport (ICAO: KBKV, FAA LID: BKV), formerly known as Hernando County Airport, is a joint civil-military public airport located 6 nautical miles (11 km) southwest of the central business district of Brooksville, a city in Hernando County, Florida, United States. It is owned by Hernando County and is 45 miles (72 km) north of Tampa. While having consistent growth in its traffic rate, it does not yet serve the public through commercial airlines, but it does have charter and executive service.

This airport is assigned a three-letter location identifier of BKV by the Federal Aviation Administration, but it does not have an International Air Transport Association (IATA) airport code.

Brooksville–Tampa Bay Regional Airport covers an area of 2,498 acres (1,011 ha) which contains two concrete paved runways: 9/27 measuring 7,002 x 150 ft (2,134 x 46 m) and 3/21 measuring 5,015 x 150 ft (1,529 x 46 m). On October 15, 2012, the airport opened a Level I FAA contractor operated air traffic control tower, the first time the airport has had an operational control tower since it was Brooksville Army Airfield during World War II.

For the 12-month period ending November 7, 2001, the airport had 49,000 aircraft operations, an average of 134 per day: 98% general aviation, 1% military and 1% air taxi. There are 108 aircraft based at this airport: 83% single engine, 7% multi-engine, 5% helicopters, 3% ultralights and 2% jet aircraft.
