Mildura Airport (IATA: MQL, ICAO: YMIA) is located 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) southwest of Mildura, Victoria, Australia. It is the busiest regional airport in Victoria, the 32nd busiest Australian airport and has twice been named Australia's Rural Airport of the Year.

During World War II it was taken over by the Royal Australian Air Force as RAAF Base Mildura.

QantasLink (de Havilland Dash 8 400) and Regional Express (Saab 340) offer scheduled air services. Virgin Australia (Embraer ERJ-190 & Boeing 737-800) began the first scheduled jet service from 13 October 2008. It is also home to Cobden Air and the Mildura Aero Club.

Its terminal facilities underwent renovation in September 2012, a $6.4 million revamp by builders Mossop Construction + Interiors. This was completed to modernize the airport, as well as increase its passenger handling capabilities to support future air travel growth.
