Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt Airport (IATA: BER, ICAO: EDDB) (German: Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt) is an international airport under construction, located in Schönefeld 18 km (11 mi) south of the city centre of Berlin, Germany. It is intended to replace Tegel Airport and Schönefeld Airport, and to become the single commercial airport serving Berlin and the surrounding state of Brandenburg, an area with a combined 6 million inhabitants. It is named after Willy Brandt.

Begun in 2006 and originally planned to open in 2010, Berlin Brandenburg Airport encountered a series of delays due to poor construction planning, management and execution. As of 2018, it is not known when the airport might be inaugurated. Due to these problems, the initially stated construction budget will be greatly exceeded.
Lufthansa (including its Germanwings subsidiary) are expected to become the leading carriers at Berlin Brandenburg Airport, both having announced the intent to set up a hub operation there. EasyJet is thought to become the second largest tenant. With a projected annual passenger number of around 27 million, Berlin Brandenburg would become the third busiest airport in Germany and one of the fifteen busiest in Europe.
