Leros Municipal Airport (ICAO LGLE) is a small public airport on the island of Leros in the Dodecanese. It sits in the north of the island near Partheni, and the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority operates it. The airport began operations in 1984 and has one asphalt runway, 14/32, about 1,000 m long.

The short runway suits small turboprops. Olympic Air flies to Athens, and Sky Express connects Leros with Astypalaia, Kalymnos, Kos and Rhodes. Facilities are limited to a small cafe and an airline ticket office.

Traffic is light. The airport handled 27,606 passengers and 1,396 aircraft movements in 2017. The island's main ferry port is at Lakki, so many visitors arrive by sea, and the airport serves travellers who want a short flight from Athens or the neighbouring islands. Schedules change by season, so check with the airline before arranging a transfer.
