Hoonah Airport (ICAO PAOH) is a public-use airport owned by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. It sits about 2 km southeast of Hoonah, a Tlingit community on Chichagof Island in Southeast Alaska. The airport has been active since January 1966. It has no control tower and is unattended.

The single runway, 6/24, is asphalt and 75 feet wide. FAA data records an estimated 9,750 aircraft operations in 2015. Traffic is mostly air taxi flights, with some general aviation.

Hoonah is not connected to the Alaska highway system, so the airport is a main link to the outside world. Alaska Seaplanes flies the short route to Juneau on small single-engine aircraft. A separate seaplane base, Hoonah Seaplane Base (OOH), handles floatplane traffic on the water nearby.
