Lorient South Brittany Airport or "Aéroport de Lorient Bretagne Sud" airport codes|LRT|LFRH, also known as Lorient-Lann-Bihoué Airport, is the airport serving the city of Lorient. It is situated 5 km west-northwest of Lorient, a "commune" of the Morbihan "département" in the Brittany or "Bretagne" region of France.

The airport's surprisingly large size (almost 3 km by 3 km, about half the size of O'Hare in Chicago) is explained by the fact that it was built during WWII to support German submarine operations from the nearby base in Lorient.
