Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport (IATA: SWA, ICAO: ZGOW) is an international airport serving the cities of Jieyang, Shantou and Chaozhou in South Central China‘s Guangdong province. It is located in the towns of Paotai and Denggang in Jiedong District, Jieyang, Guangdong. It was part of a relocation plan from the original Shantou Waisha Airport, and the site was chosen to be near the geographic center of Jieyang, Shantou, and Chaozhou. The airport was put into service on 15 December 2011, with the simultaneous shut-down of Shantou Waisha Airport as a commercial airport.

According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, in 2024, Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport recorded 70,498 flight takeoffs and landings, and 8.666 million passenger movements, representing a year-on-year increases of 16.2% and 20.7% respectively.
