Zephyrhills Municipal Airport (IATA: ZPH, ICAO: KZPH, FAA LID: ZPH) is a public use airport in Pasco County, Florida, United States. It is owned by the City of Zephyrhills and located one nautical mile (2 km) southeast of its central business district. This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.
Opened in January 1942, the airport was used by the United States Army Air Forces, specifically the Army Air Forces School of Applied Tactics (AAFSAT) tactical combat simulation school headquartered at Orlando Army Air Base. The military use of the airport ended on October 31, 1944, and in 1947 the airport was deeded to the city, which has run it ever since.
Zephyrhills Municipal Airport covers an area of 813 acres (329 ha) at an elevation of 90 feet (27 m) above mean sea level. It has two runways with asphalt surfaces: 5/23 is 4,999 by 100 feet (1,524 x 30 m) and 19/01 is 4,954 by 100 feet (1,510 x 30 m).
