Cherbourg Manche Airport (IATA: CER, ICAO: LFRC) is a regional public airport serving Cherbourg-en-Cotentin and the surrounding Manche department in Normandy, France.

Scheduled services have historically included routes to Paris and other French cities, though connectivity has varied over the years.

The airport has a single small terminal building serving both commercial and general aviation passengers.
