Kalymnos Island National Airport serves the Aegean island of Kalymnos in the Dodecanese. It sits near the village of Argos, between the capital Pothia and the settlement of Brosta, a few kilometres from the island's main port.

The airport opened on 10 August 2006 and is run by the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority. A single asphalt runway, 10/28, is about 1,135 metres long, which suits small turboprop aircraft. Larger jets cannot use it, so all scheduled traffic is regional.

Sky Express is the only scheduled airline. It links Kalymnos with Athens and with neighbouring islands including Astypalaia, Kos, Leros and Rhodes. Traffic is light. In 2019 the airport handled 10,976 passengers and 828 aircraft movements, a small share of the visitors who reach the island by ferry from Kos and Piraeus.
