'''Dhamra Airport''' {{airport codes||}} is a proposed to be built by the Dhamra Port Company Limited, 20 km from [[Dhamra Port]] in the [[Bhadrak district]] of [[Odisha]], India.

In 2018, the Dhamara Port Company Limited (DPCL), run by the [[Adani Group]], forwarded a proposal to the Odisha government to set up an airport to boost commercial activities near the Dhamra port. The Odisha government accorded in-principle approval in September 2018 and sought a detail project report.<ref name="BS1">{{cite news|url= https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/odisha-govt-approves-commercial-airport-near-dhamra-port-118091200712_1.html|title= Odisha govt approves commercial airport near Dhamra port|work=[[Business Standard]] |date= 12 September 2018|access-date=1 January 2020}}</ref>
In November 2018, the State Government signed a [[Memorandum of Understanding]] with DPCL for the development of a commercial airport over 500 acres at the cost of Rs. 500 crore.

In January 2020, the Government approved of DPCL's proposal to acquire 274 acres of land for the airstrip. The State Government would take a call on acquiring the remaining land for the project at a later date.<ref name="TOI2">{{cite news|url= https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhubaneswar/odisha-govt-oks-land-acquisition-for-dhamra-port-airstrip/articleshow/73051173.cms |title= Odisha govt OKs land acquisition for Dhamra Port airstrip |work=[[Times of India]] |date= 1 January 2020|access-date=1 January 2020}}</ref>
