South Lafourche Leonard Miller Jr. Airport (ICAO: KGAO, FAA LID: GAO, formerly L49) is a public use airport in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is owned by the Greater Lafourche Port Commission and located one nautical mile (2 km) east of the central business district of Galliano, Louisiana. This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned GAO by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned GAO to Los Canos Airport in Guantanamo, Cuba).
