Te Kowhai Aerodrome (ICAO: NZTE) is a privately owned airfield located near the township of Te Kowhai in the Waikato region of New Zealand. It was the home of the microlight aircraft manufacturer Micro Aviation NZ until the death of the company's founder, Max Clear, in 2011.

The airfield was sold by the Clear family in August 2016 to an operating and development company called TK Airfield Land Ltd.[1]

In 2019, a Douglas DC-3 formerly used as an aerial topdressing aircraft, was moved to the aerodrome from its display at Mystery Creek Events Centre. It now serves as a gate guardian.
