Itami Airport (伊丹空港 Itami Kūkō?) (IATA: ITMICAO: RJOO), officially known as Osaka International Airport (大阪国際空港 Ōsaka Kokusai Kūkō?) is the primary domestic airport for the Kansai region of Japan, including the major cities of Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe. It is classified as a first class airport.

Despite its "international" designation, the airport's scheduled passenger air traffic is entirely domestic. Kansai International Airport (27 miles (43 km) away) took over the region's international traffic in 1994 and competes with Itami for domestic traffic. Itami also faces competition from Kobe Airport (16 miles (26 km) away), a smaller domestic airport opened in 2006.

The airport was named after the city of Itami, Hyōgo Prefecture because most of its land is located there. A portion of the airport property is also located in Toyonaka and Ikeda cities of Osaka Prefecture. The terminal complex is located in all three of these cities, and the only access from the Itami side is via a long tunnel that passes below the runway and apron.
