Narsaq Heliport (IATA: JNS, ICAO: BGNS) is a heliport in the northwestern part^[1] of Narsaq, a town in the Kujalleq municipality, in southern Greenland.

The route of the Arctic Umiaq Line no longer extends to Narsarsuaq during summer,^[2] hence the need for Europe-bound passengers to transfer in Narsaq Heliport, with several daily departures to Narsarsuaq.^[3]
