Fort Stockton–Pecos County Airport is a public-use airport two miles northwest of Fort Stockton, Texas, and is owned and operated by Pecos County.

The airport opened as Gibbs Field on June 1, 1942, and was used by the United States Army Air Forces as a training base during World War II. Pilot training at the airfield was primarily conducted in Fairchild PT-19s. Pilot training ceased and the field was inactivated in 1944 with the drawdown of AAFTC's pilot training program. The following year the property was turned over to Pecos County for use as a county airport.
