Boulder City Municipal Airport is a general aviation airport about one mile southwest of central Boulder City, Nevada. The City of Boulder City owns and operates it. The current airport opened on July 2, 1990, and replaced an earlier field that dated from 1933 and sat closer to U.S. Route 93.

The airport has no scheduled airline service. Two asphalt runways serve it: Runway 9/27 is 5,103 feet long and Runway 15/33 is 3,852 feet long. Both are 75 feet wide. The Federal Aviation Administration counted about 44,000 aircraft operations in the year ending May 2023, and 265 aircraft are based on the field, including 198 single-engine airplanes and 32 helicopters.

Most activity comes from sightseeing and charter flying. Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines and several helicopter companies fly tours from here to the Grand Canyon and other Arizona destinations. Two fixed-base operators sell fuel and provide ground handling, tiedowns and passenger lounges, and self-service 100LL and Jet-A are available around the clock. Enterprise Car Rental takes reservations and arranges pickups at the airport. The 30,000-square-foot Boulder City Aerocenter building opened in 2009.
