Butzweilerhof was an airport of Cologne in West Germany. It was established as a training airfield in 1912, and saw airline service from 1922 until the 1950s. It was replaced by the Cologne Bonn Airport. The airport buildings from 1935 to 1936 are registered as listed monuments, and a rare example of airport architecture from the interwar period. From 1951 to 1967, it was operated by the Royal Air Force as RAF Butzweilerhof.
