Pisagua Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto de Pisagua), (ICAO: SCPS) is an airstrip 2 kilometres (1 mi) east of the Pacific coastal village of Pisagua, in the Tarapacá Region of Chile.
The airstrip sits on a mesa high above the village. To the east, rising terrain is present, and to the west, the Pacific steeply drops. The runway end markers are well outside the graded runway, which extends substantially beyond the markers at either end.
Some sources have the ICAO code "SCPS" for the closed Perales Airport in the Atacama Region.[3][4][5]
