Lasnamäe Airfield (Estonian: Lasnamäe lennuväli) was an airfield in Tallinn, Estonia. It was located 5 km (3.1 mi) east of the city centre on the hill of Lasnamäe. Nowadays its former runway and taxiways are covered by apartment buildings and a street network. The newer Tallinn Airport is also located in Lasnamäe but 4.5 km (2.8 mi) south-southwest.

In 1956, the 425th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Soviet Air Defence Forces arrived from Siverskaya (Siverskiy), in Leningrad Oblast.^[2] It was equipped with Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 and Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19 fighters.^[3] In 1970 the regiment moved to Haapsalu.

Due to the expansion of residential areas, flying operations stopped by 1982.
