Düsseldorf-Mönchengladbach Airport (Flughafen Düsseldorf-Mönchengladbach) (IATA: MGL, ICAO: EDJN) is an airport near Düsseldorf.

The airport was founded in 1955 as a small airstrip for gliders. A hangar was built in 1957 and the next year a tower and a building for passengers were constructed. The construction of the 1.200-meter runway, that is still used today, was started in 1970 and completed in 1973.

Since the last airline, GLOBUS, had left, there were no more scheduled flights in Mönchengladbach. Today, the airport, which is co-owned by the company which also runs Düsseldorf International Airport (70 %) and the local utility company NVV AG (30 %), is dominated by general aviation.
