Marquette County Airport (IATA: MQT, ICAO: KMQT, FAA LID: MQT) is a former airport in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, located in Negaunee Township in Marquette County, several miles west of the city of Marquette. With the 1995 closure of nearby K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base, airport facilities were transferred to Sawyer International Airport when it opened in 1999.

In 2006, the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community proposed moving its Ojibwa II casino from Chocolay Township to the airport site, where it would build a 135,000-square-foot (12,540 m2) facility.[1] The proposal was rejected by Governor Rick Snyder, unless a broader agreement could be reached.[2]
