Warkworth Aerodrome is an aerodrome constructed in 1942 by the Royal Australian Air Force as a satellite aerodrome north of Warkworth, New South Wales, Australia during World War II.

The runway ran south west to north east and was 1,500 feet (460 m) long x 150 feet (46 m) wide.[1] The aerodrome was as a dispersal satellite field for RAAF Station Bulga near Singleton.

The aerodrome is currently the home of the Hunter Valley Gliding Club Co-Op.[2] [3]
