Woodcock Airport (TC LID: CBQ8) is an abandoned airstrip located 3.8 nautical miles (7.0 km; 4.4 mi) northeast of Cedarvale, British Columbia, Canada.

Built in the 1940s by the RCAF as a detachment of RCAF Air Station Smithers, the airstrip was briefly maintained as an emergency airstrip after the end of WWII.

In 1969, the Terrace Skydiving Club took over maintenance and used it until 2004, when the club re-located to Beaverley Airport.^[2] The runway had been overgrown by vegetation^[3] until May 2019, when the BC General Aviation association staged a cleanup event.^[2]
