Luostari is a tactical airstrip and a former military air base near Korzunovo in Murmansk Oblast, northwestern Russia. The settlemet was established to service the air base.
It is located just two kilometres from the former village of Ylä-Luostari, adjacent to the village developed around Petsamo (Pechenga) Monastery (the Finnish word luostari means 'monastery').
