Panan-awan Airport (Filipino: "Paliparan ng Panan-awan", Cebuano: "Tugpahanan sa Panan-awan") airport codes|MSN|RPSM, also known as Maasin Airport, is an airport serving the general area of Maasin City, located in the province of Southern Leyte in the Philippines. It is the only existing airport in Southern Leyte. The airport is classified as a feeder airport by the Air Transportation Office, a body of the Department of Transportation and Communications that is responsible for the operations of not only this airport but also of all other airports in the Philippines except the major international airports.

The airport derives its name from its location, being located in Barangay Panan-awan in Maasin City.

At present, however, the airport does not service any commercial flight. It has no terminal and can only accommodate aircraft for general aviation weighing 12,000 pounds and below at daytime.
