Columbus Southwest Airport was a privately owned, public use airport located 11 nautical miles (13 mi, 20 km) southwest of the central business district of Columbus, in Franklin County, Ohio, United States. It was abandoned in 2020.
History The airport has been open since at least the 1950s, with its first depiction coming in 1966.
In 2020, a storm destroyed much of the airport's facilities. Though tax money was used for repairs, the airport's owner could not reimburse the county. The airport was abandoned on April 1 of that year, and it was sold to a local farmer.

For the 12-month period ending July 26, 2010, the airport had 11,833 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 32 per day. At that time there were 16 aircraft based at this airport, all single-engine airplanes.
