São Filipe Airport (Portuguese: Aeródromo de São Filipe, also: Aeródromo do Fogo) (IATA: SFL, ICAO: GVSF) is Cape Verde's fifth most-used airport, located in the island of Fogo. It is located 2 km southeast of the town of São Filipe, near the Atlantic Ocean. It is used for domestic flights only.

The airport was completed in 1997,[3] replacing a smaller airfield at the same location. Its runway measures 1,350 metres (4,430 ft) by 30 metres (98 ft) wide. The maximum single-wheel load is 20 tonnes.[3]

In July 2023 Vinci Airports finalized a financial arrangement to take over seven airports in Cape Verde under a concession agreement signed with the island country’s government. The company will be responsible for the funding, operation, maintenance, extension and modernization of the airports for 40 years, alongside its subsidiary ANA-Aeroportos de Portugal, which holds 30% of the concession company Cabo Verde Airports.[1]
