Airfield Durbe is an abandoned airfield west of the town of Durbe and north of the A9 highway, 175 kilometers west-southwest of Riga, Latvia.
The airfield was built by the Soviet Union in the 1975-1985 timeframe. It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consists of a small runway and a taxiway to a very small platform to the north of the runway.

Latvian Airfields listed the airfield condition as 'Average/bad'. The runway has become part of the local road system and therefore may be strewn with foreign objects. Additionally it has bushes on both sides of the runway and the platform is almost overgrown.
The airfield is located within the Liepāja airfield CTR. It is uncertified and officially closed to all traffic.
