Honningsvåg Airport, Valan (IATA: HVG, ICAO: ENHV) is a small regional airport in the Nordkapp municipality in Finnmark, Norway. It serves the community of Honningsvåg and is the closest airport to the North Cape. It was opened in 1977.

The airport is located north of the municipality centre, and is connected to it by European route E69. The single runway is 800 metres long and numbered 08/26.

Scheduled services are operated by Widerøe. Nonstop flights are operated to Hammerfest (Hammerfest Airport) and Mehamn (Mehamn Airport), but the flights usually continue to larger airports such as Tromsø Airport, Langnes where flights to southern Norway are available.

On October 29 1990 a Twin Otter airplane operated by the Royal Norwegian Air Force crashed at Honningsvåg due to turbulence and three people were killed.
