Portales Municipal Airport (ICAO: KPRZ, FAA LID: PRZ) is a city-owned, public-use airport located four nautical miles (7 km) southwest of the central business district of Portales, a city in Roosevelt County, New Mexico, United States.[1] According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, it is classified as a general aviation airport.[2]

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned PRZ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned PRZ to Prineville Airport in Prineville, Oregon[4]).
