Latrobe Regional Airport (formerly Latrobe Valley Airport) (IATA: TGNICAO: YLTV) is located between the Latrobe Valley towns of Morwell and Traralgon, Victoria, Australia. The airport is about 90 minutes drive east of Melbourne, off the Princes Highway, 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) west of Traralgon.

The airfield was originally located at Morwell and at Moe before moving to the present site. The terminal building contains some displays of aviation artifacts.
