Lockhart River Airport {{airport codes|IRG|YLHR}} (also known as Iron Range Airport) is an airport in Lockhart River, Queensland, Australia, located approximately {{Convert|800|km|abbr=on}} north of Cairns on the eastern coast of Cape York Peninsula. Being so remote with the road to Lockhart River being unpassable during the tropical wet season, the airport provides a vital transport hub for the community as well as being the only means of freighting in critical medical and other supplies during the summer months.
