Airport Weeze or Niederrhein Airport (IATA: NRN, ICAO: EDLV) is an airport situated in the small municipality of Weeze in the Niederrhein (Lower Rhineland) of western Germany. It lies approximately 30 km (19 mi) from Nijmegen, Netherlands and 80 km (50 mi) north of Düsseldorf. It is built on the site of the former military airbase RAF Laarbruch, and began operations as a civil airport in 2003.

Weeze Airport is used only by low-cost carriers, mainly Ryanair. Its IATA-Code is "NRN" because of its former name Flughafen Niederrhein.

The airport has undergone several changes of name; the operators originally wanting to name it after the city of Düsseldorf. As there were already three international airports closer to the city (Düsseldorf International, Düsseldorf-Mönchengladbach and Cologne Bonn), the name was blocked by a court decision which argued that naming the airport after Düsseldorf would be misleading to passengers. However, airlines who use the airport, particularly Ryanair, call the airport Düsseldorf (Weeze).

The airport serves the Weeze area, and also Düsseldorf. However, the airport has no direct transport to Düsseldorf.
