Flugplatz Abele (Dutch: vliegveld Abele, also spelled as Flugplatz Abeele) was a German airfield near Ypres and Poperinge in West-Flanders (Dutch: West-Vlaanderen) in Belgium.
The airfield should not be confused with Abeele Aerodrome, which was located some 35 kilometers to its southwest. During World War I it was built near Chateau Wolvenhof of industrialist Gaspard Vanden Bogaerde in 1917.

The Flugplatz was virtually completely merged with the Flugplatz at Rumbeke.
