Tweed-New Haven Regional Airport (IATA: HVN, ICAO: KHVN, FAA LID: HVN) is a public airport located three miles southeast of downtown New Haven, in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States. The airport is partly located in the City of New Haven, which owns the airport, and partly in the town of East Haven.

It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a non-hub primary commercial service facility.Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 33,625 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2014, 37,434 in 2013 and 36,975 in 2012.
Ground-breaking ceremonies for the new airport occurred on November 11, 1929. The facility was later dedicated and opened for traffic on August 29, 1931 as the New Haven Municipal Airport. In 1961 it was renamed in honor of John H. "Jack" Tweed, its first airport manager. The first airline to serve New Haven was Li-Con Airways, Inc., of Islip, Long Island, New York. That carrier commenced service on November 10, 1933 and provided passenger and air mail service until July, 1934. In the fall of 1934, American Airlines began serving New Haven, pulling out in 1960 and being replaced by Allegheny Airlines. Eastern Airlines left in 1969.
