Pichilemu Airport (Spanish: Aeródromo de Pichilemu) (ICAO: SCPM) is an airport serving Pichilemu, a Pacific coastal city in the O'Higgins Region of Chile. It is one of the oldest airports in the region.

It is currently owned by Club Aéreo de Pichilemu,[3] on loan from the Municipality of Pichilemu as a commodate.[4] It is used on certain occasions for events such as Presidential visits, and for emergency landings.

The Ministry of Public Works of Chile invested more than 300 million pesos (about US$750,000) to pave the 12,000 m2 (3.0 acres) dirt runway,[4] and it was inaugurated on 10 September 2011.[5]

The runway is within the city, less than 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) inland from the Pacific shore. The length does not include an additional 100 metres (330 ft) displaced threshold on Runway 04.
