Venice Municipal Airport (IATA: VNC, ICAO: KVNC, FAA LID: VNC) is a city managed public-use airport located two miles (3 km) south of the central business district of Venice, a city in Sarasota County, Florida, United States.

The airport was built during the 1940s by the United States Army Air Forces and served as a military flight training facility. It also was used by Air Transport Command to deliver US-built aircraft destined for Britain under Lend-lease from the factories on the West Coast or for assignment to selected British pilots. Some of the aircraft were partially disassembled and prepared for being loaded onboard ships for the trip across the Atlantic Ocean.
