Benedito Lacerda Airport (IATA: MEAICAO: SBME) is the airport serving Macaé, Brazil. The airport is named after (1903–1958), a musician born in Macaé.

In the 1980s the runway was paved and an apron and a terminal with 941 m² were constructed, enabling Macaé Airport to fully support the operations related to the Campos basin.
