Deir ez-Zor Airport (Arabic: مطار دير الزور‎) (IATA: DEZ, ICAO: OSDZ) is an airport serving Deir ez-Zor, a city in northeastern Syria.

Due to the city's close proximity to the Iraqi border and a recent Israeli military attack on a suspected nuclear facility nearby, foreign travellers to this airport can expect close attention by Syrian security services[citation needed].
