Marinduque Airport (Filipino: Paliparan ng Marinduque) (IATA: MRQ, ICAO: RPUW) is the only airport located on and serving the island province of Marinduque in the Philippines. It is in Barangay Masiga in the town of Gasan, near the border with the provincial capital, Boac. It is classified as a Class 2 principal (minor domestic) airport by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, a body of the Department of Transportation and Communications that is responsible for the operations of airports in the Philippines (except the major international airports).

. The runway renovation was interrupted in 2015 (after a period of 24/7 construction effort). The runway length, therefore, is only 2 x 700m with a ~120m gap in the middle since the halves have not been connected. The airport is presently being used by a private flying school.

It is not known when the renovation work will be resumed and the ~350 feet of runway needed to unite both parts of the runway will be finished, which would make the airport operational again.

Zest Airways (now AirAsia Zest) previously used a Xian MA-60 aircraft while Philippine Airlines used with its fleet of YS-11, and later Fokker 50 aircraft, before ceasing the route during the Asian financial crisis. In 2017 the air Juan is starting to fly from manila and pinamalayan using cessna caravan
