Taieri Aerodrome (ICAO: NZTI) is an aerodrome 2.7 NM (5 km) west of Dunedin, New Zealand.

Taieri Aerodrome was the most southerly Royal New Zealand Air Force flying station during World War II. No. 1 Elementary Flying School, No. 307 Elementary Ground Training School and a flight which managed stored Lockheed Hudsons were located there.^[1]

Taieri Aerodrome is home to the Otago Aero Club, New Zealand's oldest aero club,^[2] being established in 1927. In addition to being a social organisation, the aero club offers flying school.

These include Southair Aviation (GA aircraft maintenance provider), Custom Aviation (light aircraft maintenance and construction), Heliotago, and Highland Helicopters.

The aerodrome is host to the popular biennial Wings & Wheels day, which sees a variety of aircraft and vintage cars on display.^[3]
