Faa'a International Airport or Tahiti Faa'a International Airport (French: Aéroport International Tahiti Faa'a) (IATA: PPT, ICAO: NTAA) is located in the commune (municipality) of Faa'a, on the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, 5 km (3.1 mi) west southwest from the town center of Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia. It is the only airport in French Polynesia serving international flights.

Because of limited level terrain, rather than leveling large stretches of sloping agricultural land, the airport is built primarily on reclaimed land on the coral reef just off-shore. The airport, operated by Setil Aéroports, has a single 3,420 m (11,220 ft) runway, large and sound enough to accommodate all commercial and military aircraft.
