Geauga County Airport (FAA LID: 7G8), is a public use airport in southern Geauga County, Ohio, United States.[2] Owned and operated by Geauga County since 1968,[3] it serves all of Geauga County. The airport is located 40 nautical miles (12 mi, 19 km) east of downtown Cleveland.

The airport was built in 1968 as part of a statewide initiative for each county to have its own airport.[4] It serves as the area base for University Hospitals' MedEvac medical helicopter,[5] as well as for The Cleveland Soaring Society, a glider club.[6] It is home to Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 5.[7]
