Robinson Crusoe Airport () is an airport serving Robinson Crusoe Island, a Pacific island off the coast of Chile. The locale is one of the Juan Fernández Islands, being a portion of Chile's Valparaíso Region, and is from Valparaíso.
A non-directional beacon (Ident: IRC) was on the eastern part of the island, east-northeast of the airport. The beacon is likely decommissioned as it no longer listed on navigational charts.Jeppesen Navigational Charts, 2023
Commercially, the airport is mainly served by a handful of air-taxi companies flying from Santiago, largely in the January-February timeframe, and seldom outside the November-March period. Rainy and windy conditions which may impact landings or takeoffs can occur anytime on the calendar.
Because of a lack of interior roads, transfer between the airport and San Juan Bautista, the main town on Robinson Crusoe, required a 1.5 hour ride by motor launch.
