Kabankalan City Domestic Airport (Filipino: "Paliparang Domestiko ng Lungsod ng Kabankalan", Hiligaynon: "Domestiko nga Hulugpaan sang Dakbanwa sang Kabankalan") is a new airport designed to serve the general area of Kabankalan City, located in the province of Negros Occidental in the Philippines. The airport would be the second airport in Negros Occidental, after Bacolod-Silay City International Airport, and the third airport on the island of Negros. It is located four kilometers northeast of Kabankalan City proper on a 100-hectare site in Barangay Hilamonan.

The airport was mentioned in the 2006 State of the Nation Address of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, although the project is not receiving any funding from the Philippine government. The project is financed completely by the city government of Kabankalan, with the airport costing the city government around two hundred million pesos.

Construction on the new airport commenced on March 9, 2007, with completion slated by 2010.
