Aztec Municipal Airport (IATA: N19) is in San Juan County, New Mexico, on the north side of the City of Aztec. It is a general aviation airport with no tower, FBO, or commercial services, but which is popular amongst smaller light sport and general aviation aircraft doing cross country flights as GA-friendly waypoint, refueling, and overnight layover airport.

The airport provides an unattended pilot lounge with restrooms, free WiFi, and a computer with printer. Notably, the airport also provides two vehicles that can be used for free on a first-come-first-serve basis, limited to day or overnight use and travel in the immediate vicinity.

The airport has a single paved 4300' runway, but no adjacent taxiways, which means aircraft must back-taxi. It operates entirely in Class G airspace, and because of this it has become especially popular for 'non-traditional' flying and aircraft, including fixed wing, weight shift, powered parachutes, powered paragliders, hang gliders, and even limited radio control and UAV usage. The use of a two-way aviation band radio is strongly recommended for all pilots and operators.
