James Herman Banning Ames Municipal Airport (IATA: AMW, ICAO: KAMW, FAA LID: AMW) is two miles (3.2 km) southeast of Ames, in Story County, Iowa.

Originally consisting of two turf runways, the airport was created after a 1943 vote by the city of Ames. A new terminal and hangar were constructed in 2017, as part of a modernization effort.

Formerly named Ames Municipal Airport, and still commonly known as such, in 2023 the airport was officially renamed the James Herman Banning Ames Municipal Airport. James Herman Banning was the first African American to obtain a pilots license and was an alumnus of Iowa State University.
