Patillas Airport, (Spanish: Aeropuerto de Patillas) (FAA LID: X64) was a public airport 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of the small town of Patillas, in Puerto Rico.

The airport is located on a 16-acre property owned by the Puerto Rico Ports Authority. During operation, the airport charged a non-commercial landing fee of an unspecified amount. For a 12 month period during operations lasting from July 15th, 1994 to July 15th, 1995, there were 2300 aircraft operations at the airport, with an average of 6 per day. There were 10 planes based out of Patillas at the time, 7 single-engine and 3 ultralight planes. The runway has a length of 2,000 feet (610 m) and a width of 50 feet (15 m).[2]
