Almirante Schroeders Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto de Almirante Schroeders, ICAO: SCDW) is a military airport on the northern point of Isla Dawson, an island midway through the Strait of Magellan in the Magallanes y Antártica Chilena Region of Chile.

The crossing runways are just inland from the island's eastern shore, and approach and departures are over the water.

The Punta Arenas VOR-DME (Ident: NAS) is located 39 nautical miles (72.2 km) north-northwest of the airport.[2]
