Lake City Municipal Airport Airport codes|LCQ|KLCQ|LCQ is a city-owned public-use airport located three miles (5 km) east of the central business district of Lake City, in Columbia County, Florida, United States.

The airport has two on-site operations that are unique to general aviation airports:
* "TIMCO" [http://www.timco.aero/] is an aircraft modification and rehabilitation operation for large (B-727, 737) civilian and military aircraft.
