St. Louis Regional Airport (IATA: ALN, ICAO: KALN, FAA LID: ALN) is a public airport four miles (6 km) east of Alton, in Madison County, Illinois. It is in the village of Bethalto but its mailing address is East Alton.

Its operations are paid for by an airport taxation district created in 1946, which collects taxes from property owners in the Madison County townships of Alton, Wood River, Foster and Fort Russell.

Civic Memorial Airport opened in 1946 and received its current name in 1984.

In the spring of 2004 the airport was at the center of a scandal. Its recently retired manager Marion Richardson and other current and former employees were investigated for suspicion of misappropriation of airport property.

The 2,250 acres (910 ha) airfield sits at 544 ft (166 m) MSL. It has an 8100 by 150 ft (2469 by 46 m) runway that runs roughly east-west (11/29) and a 6500 by 100 ft (1981 by 30 m) crosswind runway that runs north-south (17/35). With an ILS approach and tower-controlled class D airspace, the facility can accommodate a Boeing 747.
