Talasea Airport (AYVL (TLW)) is a small airport located in West New Britain, Papua New Guinea. It does not have scheduled commercial service.

The current Talasea Airport (AYVL) was reconstructed in 2002 from a colonial-era airstrip to accommodate light aircraft. Nearby, and distinct from the modern AYVL, is the historically significant Talasea Airstrip (PG-0095), which is now closed. This older airstrip was originally built by the Australian army and saw active use by both Japanese and American forces during World War II as an emergency landing strip. It is notable for preserving the wrecks of a B-25H bomber and a Lockheed Ventura from that era.
