Termas de Río Hondo Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Termas de Río Hondo) (IATA: RHDICAO: SANR) is an airport in Santiago del Estero Province, Argentina serving the city of Termas de Río Hondo. It was built between 2010 and 2012.

It was built and it is run by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000. The airport was inaugurated on 24 July 2012 by the president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner; one month later the first flight from Buenos Aires landed at the airport.

Up to the late-1970s, there was an airport here, but it was closed, as both Santiago del Estero, 60 kilometres (37 mi) away from Termas de Río Hondo, and San Miguel de Tucumán, 90 kilometres (56 mi) away, had airports with paved runways (Vicecomodoro Ángel de la Paz Aragonés Airport and Teniente Benjamín Matienzo International Airport, respectively).
