Pelaneng Airport {{airport codes |PEL|FXPG|}} is an airport serving the settlement of Pelaneng, Lesotho.

The high elevation, unmarked airstrip sits on a narrow ridge south of the confluence of the Pelaneng and Malibamatso rivers, with rising terrain to the west and a 400+ ft drop into the river valley off the east end. Another higher ridge lies {{convert |2500|ft|m|0}} off the east end, requiring an angling final to runway 29. Landing east is less obstructed, but the downhill slope, short runway, and dropoff make it inadvisable.
