This article discusses an airport in Arizona. For information on the airport in Baton Rouge, Louisiana that is also known as Ryan Field, please see Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport.

Ryan Airfield (IATA: RYN, ICAO: KRYN) is a public airport located 10 miles (16 km) west of the city of Tucson in Navajo County, Arizona, USA. The airport has three runways. It is mostly used for general aviation but also serves a significant amount of law enforcement and military helicopter activity. Approximately 50% of Ryan's traffic is training-related.

Ryan was built by the Army Air Corp in 1942 as a site for primary flight training. Military flight training at Ryan ceased in 1944 and the property was conveyed to the State of Arizona in 1948. Currently owned by the City of Tucson, Ryan is operated by the Tucson Airport Authority under an agreement which expires in 2054.
