Kai Tak Airport was the international airport of Hong Kong from 1925 until 1998. It was officially known as the Hong Kong International Airport from 1954 to 6 July 1998, when it was closed and replaced by the new Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok, 30 km to the west. It is often known as Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport, or simply Kai Tak, to distinguish it from its successor which is often referred to as Chek Lap Kok Airport. In 2013, the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal was opened on the site of the former airport's runway.

With numerous skyscrapers and mountains located to the north and its only runway jutting out into Victoria Harbour, landings at the airport were dramatic to experience and technically demanding for pilots. The History Channel program Most Extreme Airports ranked it as the 6th most dangerous airport in the world.

香港啟德國際機場（1925年1月24日—1998年7月6日）是香港的前民用飛機場，位於九龍九龍城區。於1962年至關閉期間正式名稱為香港國際機場、香港啟德國際機場；至1998年赤鱲角機場落成，取代啟德機場成為新香港國際機場。原來屬於啟德機場的IATA机场代码HKG及ICAO機場代碼VHHH都轉移往赤鱲角機場。

香港啟德國際機場運作時為全球最繁忙的國際機場之一，客運量全球第三，貨運量全球第一。然而，極為繁忙的啟德機場座坐落於香港市區，只有一條跑道，而且周圍均屬於高密度樓房，空域狹小，在安全及需求考慮下，香港政府於1989年選址大嶼山西北面的赤鱲角興建新機場。新機場工程經時8年，於1998年啟用，啟德機場於同年7月完成其歷史任務，正式關閉。經過多年的研究及討論，香港政府在啟德機場的原址推出《啟德發展計劃》。
