Ryan's Creek Aerodrome is a small airstrip on Stewart Island in southern New Zealand.

History The aerodrome was built in the late 1970s and opened on 10 March 1979 to accommodate operations by Stewart Island Air Services. In the mid-1980s the runway and taxiways were asphalted. In 1990 a hill at one end of the strip was leveled; this left more room for aircraft to land and allowed easier access to the airstrip. A celebration of 25 years since the establishment of the airstrip was held in March 2004.

The aerodrome is used by Stewart Island Flights for scheduled services to Invercargill Airport.
