Stockholm Bromma Airport (IATA: BMA, ICAO: ESSB), officially known as Bromma Stockholm Airport, is an airport located in the Bromma district of Stockholm, Sweden.

Situated approximately 7 km^[4] (4.3 mi) northwest of central Stockholm, Bromma Airport is the closest airport to the city compared to the other commercial airports serving the Stockholm Metropolitan Area (IATA airport code STO) including Arlanda, Skavsta, and Västerås.

Opened on 13 May 1936 by King Gustaf V, it was the first airport in Europe to be built with paved runways.^[5] With the opening of Stockholm Arlanda Airport in 1962, Bromma lost its role as the primary airport for international traffic, however by 2023, Bromma Airport was still Sweden's fourth-busiest airport by passenger traffic,^[6] primarily serving domestic routes.

As of 2025 the airport's only scheduled route is Västflyg's service to Trollhättan.^[7] Bromma also operates private flights, ambulance flights and general aviation.^[8] From 2016 to 2024, Bromma Airport was predominantly served by Braathens Regional Airlines, which operated flights to various domestic destinations across Sweden before moving its operations to Stockholm Arlanda.^[9]^[10]

Stockholm Bromma Airport is located on land owned by the City of Stockholm. The airport is operated by Swedavia, a state-owned company, under a lease agreement with the city which expires in 2038.^[11] Both Swedavia and the City of Stockholm wish to close the airport, with its annual losses estimated to come to one billion SEK (€87 million) annually;^[12]^[8] however, the current Swedish government maintains that they will not allow the airport to close before the end of its current mandate period in 2026.^[10]
