Roche Harbor Airport (FAA identifier WA09) is a privately owned airfield on the northwest side of San Juan Island in Washington. It lies just northeast of Roche Harbor Resort. The airport is open to the public at the pilot's own risk and is listed as a private-use field.

The airfield has one asphalt runway, 7/25, measuring 3,593 by 30 feet at 100 feet above sea level. Operations run from sunrise to sunset, and night flying is prohibited. The centre 2,700 feet of the runway is lit until 10 pm. There is no fuel, maintenance or UNICOM service, so pilots arrive self-sufficient. Landing fees start at $10 for aircraft up to 3,600 pounds, and overnight parking costs $5 per aircraft.

San Juan Airlines flies scheduled services from Roche Harbor to Bellingham and Anacortes. Seaplane flights from Seattle, Tacoma and Renton use the separate Roche Harbor Seaplane Base (IATA code RCE, FAA identifier W39) at the resort marina rather than this runway. Travellers from Friday Harbor Airport, where Kenmore Air flies daily, need a taxi for the roughly 20-minute drive to the resort.
