Port Isabel-Cameron County Airport (ICAO: KPIL, FAA LID: PIL) is a public airport in Cameron County, Texas, United States, serving the city of Port Isabel, Texas. Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but Port Isabel-Cameron County Airport is assigned PIL by the FAA and has no IATA designation. IATA assigned PIL to Carlos Miguel Jiménez Airport in Pilar, Paraguay.

The Port Isabel Detention Center, operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is located adjacent to the airport.

The airport previously used the FAA LID of T31 until at least July 1992. This designation was subsequently reassigned to Aero Country Airport in McKinney, Texas.
