Noumérat – Moufdi Zakaria Airport (French: Aéroport de Ghardaïa / Noumérat – Moufdi Zakaria) (IATA: GHA, ICAO: DAUG), also known as Noumerate Airport, is a public airport serving Ghardaïa, the capital of the Ghardaïa Province in Algeria. It is located 8.6 nautical miles (15.9 km) southeast of the city. The airport is named for Moufdi Zakaria, the author of Kassaman, the Algerian national anthem.

The terminal, with an annual capacity of 500,000 passengers, is often considered as outdated and under-equipped.

A project to build a new international terminal has been launched. The terminal should be completed sometime during 2007, leaving the current one to Hajj flights and some peak season charters to/from Europe.
