Boscobel Airport[1][2] (ICAO: KOVS, FAA LID: OVS), also known as Boscobel Municipal Airport,[3] is a city owned public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) northeast of the central business district of Boscobel, a city in Grant County, Wisconsin, United States.[1]

It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2025–2029, in which it is categorized as a local general aviation facility.[4]
