Aktau International Airport (IATA: SCO, ICAO: UATE) (Kazakh: Halyqaralyq Aqtau Äuejaiy), formerly Shevchenko-Central, is an international airport in Mangystau Region, Kazakhstan. It is the primary international airport serving the city of Aktau on the Caspian Sea. The airport is the eighth-busiest international air passenger gateway into Central Asia, the 50th-busiest airport in the post-Soviet states, and the fourth-busiest airport in Kazakhstan.

Aktau International Airport is located 21 km (13 mi) northwest of Aktau. The airport features one passenger terminal and one runway. It serves as a focus city for SCAT Airlines. The airport is served year-round by Aeroflot, Air Astana, SCAT Airlines, Qazaq Air and on a seasonal basis by Belavia and Sunday Airlines.

The airport opened in 1983 as Shevchenko-Central and was commonly known as Shevchenko Airport (the airport's current IATA code, SCO, is derived from the city's previous name, Shevchenko).
