Tyabb Airport (ICAO: YTYA), also called Tyabb Airfield,[2] is a small regional airport located just west of the town of Tyabb, Victoria on the Mornington Peninsula.

The airport is the site of the Tyabb Air Show, which is held every two years.[3]

As of 2024, it was also the home base of a number of World War II-era warbirds, including an ex-USAAF Curtis P-40 Kittyhawk and an Australian-built ex-RAAF CA-18 Mustang.[4]
