North Bass Island Airport (FAA LID: 3X5) is a public airport located on North Bass Island, Ohio, United States. It is owned and operated by the Put In Bay Township Port Authority.

Approaches to the airport are challenging due to the airport's close proximity to the Canadian border. Canadian airspace is 2 miles from the runway's threshold.

The airport is mainly used to bring mail to North Bass Island and to transport citizens to and from nearby islands as well as mainland Ohio.

The airport received a $22,000 grant in 2021 to provide economic relief funds for costs related to operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, janitorial services, debt service payments, and combating the spread of pathogens.

The airport received $113,000 from the Federal Aviation Administration in late 2023.
