Guardia Marina Zañartu Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Guardia Marina Zañartu) (IATA: WPU, ICAO: SCGZ) is an airport serving the town of Puerto Williams on the north shore of Navarino Island in the Magallanes Region of Chile. The island is at the southern tip of Chile, and is across a narrow strait from Argentina.

The airport is maintained by the Chilean Air Force. The runway is on a small peninsula running parallel to the island's shore, and approaches to either end are partially over the water. There is mountainous terrain to the north and to the south.

The Puerto Williams VOR-DME (Ident: PWL) is located on the field.[3]
