Nivenskoye (also Severnyi, Uzhnyi & Yezau (US)) ({{langx|ru|Южный}}) is a former interceptor aircraft air base in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia located 17 km south of Kaliningrad. A large mile-wide taxiway ring on west side fed a series of aircraft revetments. There were remote bomber or alert revetments for about 5 aircraft. It is abandoned and in a state of decay as of 2000.

Nivenskoye was a Second World War airfield, which was blown up by the Germans in 1945 during their retreat.Yezau Airfield, 6 August 1952, CIA CREST: CIA-RDP82-00457R013100280005-5, Central Intelligence Agency, Washington, DC. It was rebuilt by the Soviet Union between 1948 and 1950 using Soviet soldiers and German civilians. By 1951 it had a length of 1500 m (4920 ft) and was used by the Soviet Air Force. By 1957 up to 25 MiG-15 (Fagot) aircraft were based at the airfield.AIRFIELD ACTIVITY IN THE USSR AND SATELLITES (BASED ON(Sanitized)PHOTOGRAPHY), October 1957, CREST: CIA-RDP78T04753A000300040010-6, Central Intelligence Agency, Washington, DC.
