Camopi Airport (sometimes called Vila Brasil Airport) is an airport serving the Oyapock River village of Camopi, French Guiana near the border with Brazil.

The airport is at the confluence of the Camopi River into the Oyapock, adjacent to the Camopi encampment of the 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment of the French Foreign Legion.[3]

The Camopi non-directional beacon (Ident: CP) is located just south of the runway.[4]

In October 2020, the airport was upgraded for regular passenger transport.[5]
