Coll Airport is a small airstrip on the Isle of Coll in the Inner Hebrides, about 10 km west-southwest of Arinagour, the island's main village. It has one asphalt runway, 02/20, around 500 m long. The site began as Ballard Farm and opened in 1975, replacing the earlier Totronald airfield.

The airfield closed briefly in 1990 and reopened in 1991 as an unlicensed airstrip. A hard-surface runway was formally opened in 2008. The runway is too short for the fixed-wing air ambulance, which left the island without that service during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Argyll and Bute Council runs the airport through its Oban and The Isles Airports team, which staffs an airport supervisor and air ground operator. Loganair flew the scheduled service until 2023. Hebridean Air Services took over under a public service obligation contract in 2024 and links Coll with Oban, Colonsay and Tiree.
